About Us

Our Approach

Client Focused - Results Driven

Our work always begins with a thoughtful and deliberate discovery process to learn about our clients and understand their unique opportunities and needs. AM/DM Philanthropy Partners prides itself on creating customized plans that lead to collaborative and results-driven partnerships focused on achieving fundraising and leadership goals. Working hand-in-hand with our clients is critical to our success, as it is only when all involved are invested in the process that true growth and change are possible.

What Makes Us Unique

It is that simple concept which led both Don and Anne-Marie into their careers. Don brings nearly 30 years of philanthropic/leadership experience to the table and Anne-Marie 23 years. Together they have worked with a diverse set of organizations in the areas of arts, higher education, independent schools, charter schools, hospitals, medical research, behavioral health and child welfare. Those experiences have brought a unique perspective and understanding of fundraising and leadership to benefit our clients.

In conceptualizing AM/DM Philanthropy Partners, the goal has been to create a boutique firm that brings experience to the table, but also a desire to understand clients on a deeper level and focus attention on their needs and the projects at hand. AM/DM Philanthropy Partners does not outsource work, and limits the number of clients at any one time, to ensure that clients are receiving the attention and momentum necessary to achieve outlined objectives and goals.

It all starts with passion for mission-driven work
