Fundraising Solutions by A&M

What Fundraising Solutions by A&M does

Fundraising Solutions by A&M is a woman-owned professional consulting firm based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, co-founded in 2018 by Amanda Skorich and Mallory Evans. The firm provides fundraising-related services to both non-profit organizations and corporate clients, with its core offerings spanning grant writing and management, fundraising communications and appeals, event planning (galas, donor recognition events, customized fundraisers), corporate responsibility programs, volunteer program design, and internship program development. The founders bring a combined 25+ years of nonprofit sector experience — Amanda with 13 years in grant writing across health, social services, and education, and Mallory with 16 years in event planning and 12 years as a Development Director.

The firm operates on a sales-led, direct-to-client model with co-founders personally selling engagements. Pricing is quote-based for consulting services, with multi-year contract cadences referenced, and unit pricing for physical event supplies (bid paddles priced per 100 units, table numbers per 25 cards). Non-profit discounts are offered. The company also sells branded physical event supplies — custom bid paddles, table numbers, and custom programs/posters — creating a modest product revenue stream alongside services. Marketing channels are limited to organic social (Instagram), an email newsletter, and website content. No technology platform, no AI capabilities, no APIs, no proprietary software, and no data assets are disclosed; the offering is fundamentally human-delivered professional services.

The firm is privately held with no disclosed investors, no funding rounds, no partnerships, and no M&A activity. Headcount is approximately 6 employees. Geographic reach is claimed across the United States, though operations are concentrated from a single Saint Paul headquarters. Customer segments are split between non-profit organizations (primary) and corporate entities (secondary), with one named customer testimonial (Sacha, Associate & Advancement Director) publicly listed.
