AmPhil

What AmPhil does

AmPhil (legal name American Philanthropic) is a U.S. nonprofit fundraising consulting firm founded in 2009 by Jeremy Beer and headquartered in Hockessin, Delaware. The firm operates as an integrated professional services practice serving mission-driven organizations across faith-based, K-12 and higher education, policy and advocacy, human services, foundations, and arts and culture verticals, with offices in six U.S. metropolitan areas and a headcount of 51–100.

AmPhil delivers a portfolio of ten core service lines spanning the full fundraising lifecycle: strategic development planning, a proprietary Major Gifts Accelerator Program with wealth screening and major donor profiling, direct response (direct mail and digital fundraising), capital and mission campaigns, data and technology support (including implementation and post-live support for Virtuous CRM, Salesforce, and HubSpot), a creative studio, donor advisory services, planned giving and gift planning, and donor research. Its underlying technology is conventional nonprofit CRM and donor database tooling rather than proprietary software, with the Major Gifts Accelerator functioning as a differentiated methodology backed by exclusive donor profile and wealth screening assets. The firm also produces thought-leadership content including the 'Givers, Doers, and Thinkers' podcast and the Philanthropy Daily blog.

AmPhil generates revenue through project-based professional consulting engagements priced on a quote basis, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. The go-to-market is sales-led and partnership-driven, leveraging content marketing, events, direct sales, and a partnership-based client relationship model. Ownership is founder-led, with Jeremy Beer as Executive Chairman and Chris Kuetemeyer as CEO; no venture capital, private equity, or institutional investors are disclosed. Cumulative scale as stated by the firm is 1,000+ nonprofits, philanthropists, charitable foundations, and missional initiatives served since founding.
