AMPO Annual Giving Accelerator
A 12-month coaching program built for teams without large development departments. Practical tools, coaching, and a proven structure support sustainable annual giving systems.
The Accelerator is a strong fit when:
- The organization needs structure but does not have a large development department.
- The team wants coaching, tools, and a clear monthly path.
- The organization is ready to strengthen annual giving without building a fully customized implementation engagement.
- The work needs to become repeatable, documented, and easier to lead.
Small teams carrying a full annual program.
- One-person development shops where the fundraiser may also be the grant writer, event planner, communicator, and database manager.
- Executive directors who inherited fundraising and are building the practice while running the organization.
- Teams ready to stop rebuilding the appeal each year and start leading a system that carries forward.
The method, delivered as a program your team keeps.
The Accelerator moves through the four system movements across 12 months.
Name the Need
Define what donors are being asked to fund and separate it clearly from the full funding picture.
Map the Giving Base
Build the donor picture: who gives, who lapsed, who may be ready for a next step, and where the next philanthropic partners are.
Activate the Message
Turn the named need into appeals, conversations, and stewardship your team can carry.
Lead the System
Hold the calendar, assignments, review practices, and leadership tools so the program can continue after the year ends.
Coaching, tools, and a calendar the organization keeps.
- Monthly coaching with an agenda tied to the movement in play.
- Board-ready tools that staff and boards can use between sessions.
- Templates and guided production for appeals, stewardship, and donor conversations.
- A documented annual calendar that belongs to the organization at the end of the year.
“AMPO’s training has helped me tremendously. The structure and guidance are practical, and the board activation material was especially valuable. One of our board members was so enthusiastic about it that they wanted to use the training more broadly.”
“AMPO’s training has been beyond helpful. I thought we knew our donors, but I realized we did not have the information or systems we needed. Now I am gathering the right information, organizing our donor records, and building a stronger foundation that will help us connect with people more effectively.”
“Through her guidance we strengthened donor relationships, obtained buy-in from key organizational leaders, and grew our fundraising efforts. She is the one you want in your corner.”
The AMPO Annual Giving Accelerator is available as a 12-month coaching program.
- $100 per module
- $1,200 for the full 12-month program
The program is designed for organizations that need structure, tools, and coaching without building a large development department.
The first step is to determine whether the Accelerator is the right level of support.
AMPO will help clarify whether the organization needs the 12-month coaching program, a more customized Fundraising Implementation engagement, AMPO Connect, or a different next step.
