Speaker, big picture thinker and fundraising expert; Amy Efstathis is a cause-focused business cheerleader with 14 years’ experience.
After 10 years working in large charities, Amy was drawn to help smaller organisations run by passionate people to grow their impact. She is a strong advocate for creating safe and inclusive work environments and ensuring impact delivery does not result in burnout in the sector. Her mantra is "the cost of fundraising should not include our people”.
Away from work, Amy is usually heading off in her caravan with her husband and two kids who she affectionately nicknames "The Wildlings".

Board Director of Women's Mentoring Fund
Amy is my go-to person whenever I have a question or need support with fundraising, partnerships and finding creative ways to keep doing the work we love to do with young people. She has always gone above and beyond when working with us and we've also turned to Amy to educate our 300+ youth mentors around the world. She helped us all see what's possible and provided practical support to do it. I would highly recommend Amy - she's thoughtful, meets you where you are at, brings decades of experience and knowledge, and personalises her approach to ensure it's everything you need.
