Can music strengthen civil society? One community orchestra in Chicago answers this question with a decisive “YES!” This orchestra spent years bringing people together through the power of music. But when it came to their end-of-year fundraising campaign, they realized they needed help to make it a success. That’s where AmPhil came in. Our experts worked with the orchestra to create a personalized campaign that connected with donors through emails, phone calls, and direct mail. The result? They raised 40% more than their goal and built even stronger relationships with their supporters. We’re so proud to have been part of their success and can’t wait to see what the future holds for them! #nonprofit #success #multichannelfundraising #fundraising #growth

Busy season? No problem! When a client came to us during the busiest time of the year, overwhelmed and short on time to connect with their donors, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. 💪 ✔️ We started with personal phone calls to lapsed donors, priming them for what was coming. ✔️ Then, we followed up with a thoughtful solicitation letter asking them to renew their support. AmPhil values getting into the trenches with our clients and helping to execute winning strategies.

Relief, gratitude, pride...exhaustion. These are a few of the many emotions that accompany the day after Giving Tuesday. Wherever you find yourself today, here are a few things to keep in mind: 👉 Thank Your Donors Sending a genuine thank-you will strengthen your relationship with supporters. A personalized email or handwritten note is best. 👉 Review the Data Look at how your Giving Tuesday went. Check what worked well and what didn’t. This information will help you improve for next year. 👉 Keep the Momentum Going Giving Tuesday marks the beginning of year-end giving. Use the excitement from yesterday to boost your outreach for December. Fundraising is hard work. Take a moment to pause and appreciate the amazing work your mission is accomplishing. We're rooting for you! #fundraising #welcomewednesday #nonprofits #givingtuesday #growth
