Amanda Macdonald, Managing Partner
Amanda Macdonald was named Managing Partner with The Monument Group in 2024, and has been a consultant with the firm since 2017. Prior to that, she had two decades of development experience at organizations that include the Philadelphia Museum of Art, University of Richmond, Richmond Ballet, Richmond SCPA, and VCU’s School of Engineering. Throughout her career, Amanda has utilized methods learned from her work at larger scale development offices and applied them to organizations with fewer development staff members.
While Amanda’s vast experience includes running annual giving campaigns, creating a planned giving program, managing a prospect pipeline, and grant writing, her strength lies in building a solid foundation that enables all of these fundraising pieces to work together seamlessly. Amanda uses this strength to help small development offices streamline their development operations so that staff can spend more time meeting with donors and prospects and less time in front of the computer.
A dedicated member of Richmond’s non-profit community, Amanda currently serves as the Immediate Past President of the Board of the local chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, where she has also served as Co-Chair of the Inclusive Fellows Program.
Amanda is a graduate of Mary Washington College, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Art History.
