Amy has worn many, many hats in the nonprofit world. She’s worked across organizations like Hawaii Literacy, Make-A-Wish, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Planned Parenthood and the Alzheimer's Association as a giving and operations director, annual giving manager, board member, committee chair and advocate.
She's a systems-and-process person at heart, the kind of strategist who can spot what's holding your fundraising back and help you build something sustainable. Through Give Lively Grow, she's helped a first-year nonprofit raise $30,000 (then $40,000 the next year), built recurring giving programs with a 700% return, walked organizations through their very first GivingTuesday and supported boards through governance and engagement.

"As a first-year nonprofit, our goal for Giving Tuesday was $25K and we surpassed $28K! This was all made possible because of the plan and guidance from Give Lively."

In just a few short weeks of using Give Lively and Salesforce, the Foundation is in a far better position than it was after more than 20 years with Raiser's Edge. We couldn’t be more pleased with the team, the platform and the tools that are already expanding our capabilities.
Christopher LaBianco
Give Lively has not only solved several operational needs for our organization through the tools offered on the platform but they have provided incredible advisory support and accountability. As a startup nonprofit with limited funds and resources, I often feel alone in trying to gain awareness and funding, but Give Lively's free services are transformative to our organization.
