Background

About Amy Winkleblack

A seasoned fundraising professional with a background in public service, I spent six years in local government and ten in the nonprofit sector before establishing Wink Consulting. While obtaining my BA from the University of California at Santa Cruz I accepted my first animal welfare job, igniting a professional passion I pursued for another 15 years. With the goal of contributing to animal lifesaving at the highest level, I acquired a Master’s of Public Administration from San Jose State University in 2011, shortly after joining the nationally recognized team at Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV). During my 10 years at HSSV I received three promotions, closing my chapter there as a Senior Director of Development. In that role, I managed teams responsible for major gifts, planned gifts, endowment, special events, monthly giving, peer-to-peer fundraising, corporate sponsorship, mission film creation, and select digital fundraising campaigns. These broad-ranging responsibilities involved close collaboration with a top-notch in-house marketing team and an external direct marketing firm, giving me a strong foundation in nonprofit branding, communication, and metrics. As the founder and Principal of Wink Consulting LLC, I am privileged to be able to apply my expertise to an expanding range of worthy causes. In addition to my passion for animal welfare, I am deeply committed to work that values, supports, and uplifts underserved and marginalized members of our community. I look forward to learning about your passion and how we might partner to further the critical mission work of your organization.
