Amie Bossi, MPPA, CFRE

Amie has worked in the nonprofit sector for over a decade and a half, working with numerous local, regional, and national organizations. She spent most of her time working in small to mid-sized development departments, even building from scratch an entire development program for an organization that although over 140 years old, was brand new to the fundraising world.

Ensuring organizations achieve their missions is Amie’s passion. Having played many different roles within organizations, from Program Manager to Development Director, she understands the importance of building a spirit of philanthropy and maintaining it throughout development work. She is currently writing a book about fundraising and the idea that fundraising isn’t scary, and anyone can do it! She currently serves on the Board of the Immigrant Home English Learning Program, the St. Louis chapter of AFP, and KTK Theater.

Amie earned her BA in Communications and Sociology from Culver Stockton College and her Masters’ Degree in Public Policy Administration and Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management and Leadership from the University of Missouri - St. Louis. She is a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) and an ambassador for the certification program. In her free time, she loves to do community theater and spend time with her husband, cuddling her five cats, hiking her way through national parks, and karaoke.
