About this episode

On this episode of The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast, I’m talking with someone I admire tremendously: Amy Eisenstein

Amy is a veteran fundraising consultant. With more than 20 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, she’s published a number of books, including Major Gift Fundraising for Small Shops. She’s an in-demand keynote speaker and an engaging board retreat trainer and facilitator.

She’s also CEO and Co-Founder of the Capital Campaign Pro. Capital Campaign Pro is a support system that equips nonprofit leaders to achieve capital campaign success through expert guidance to walk alongside you every step of the campaign, it provides peer support and a really robust array of tools. I’m proud to be one of their Campaign Advisors in addition to my work here at Fundraising Transformed.

And lastly, Amy is an ACFRE. The Advanced Certified Fundraising Executive is the top credential in the fundraising profession, a really big achievement.
