About Andy

For 45 years, I’ve worked with a variety of nonprofits as a fundraiser, facilitator, trainer and community organizer. Since starting my consulting practice in 1995, I’ve provided support and training to thousands of nonprofit staff and volunteer leaders in 47 U.S. states and across Canada.

I specialize in the needs of organizations working for human rights, social justice, artistic expression, environmental conservation, and community development.

My books include Grassroots Grants and Selling Social Change, available from Jossey-Bass. How to Raise $500 to $5000 From Almost Anyone, and The Board Member’s Easier Than You Think Guide to Nonprofit Finances (with Nancy Wasserman) are available from Civil Sector Press.

My latest books are What Every Board Member Needs to Know, Do, and Avoid and (with Andrea Kihlstedt), Train Your Board (and Everyone Else) to Raise Money.

I live in Plainfield, Vermont with my spouse Jan, a woodlot filled with wildlife, and a garden that is completely out of control.
