Let’s start with what AmPhil’s planning process doesn’t entail:
  • Pie-in-the sky wish lists.
  • Endless meetings and soul-crushing workshops.
  • Boilerplate lists of items to mindlessly cross off.
Now, the services we’ll actually provide:
  • An objective, comprehensive assessment of your current state of affairs.
  • Partnership with you in establishing realistic goals and a plan for achieving them.
  • Support in the trenches as you execute said plan.
  • Guidance on adjusting the plan to fit your evolving needs.
You probably have many pressing questions, like:
  • How do we build a sustainable revenue stream?
  • What development activities would put us on stronger financial footing?
  • How should we staff and operate our development department?

Those are all questions that AmPhil will help you answer, so that you can execute the right things, the right way, consistently over time.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

—Benjamin Franklin
