Fundraising Auctioneer – Amy Frith

Heartfelt. Energetic. Storyteller.

Amy Frith brings storytelling, strategy, and unstoppable energy to every fundraising event. After two decades in broadcast journalism and a career leading corporate philanthropy for a Fortune 500 company, she found her true calling in nonprofit fundraising.

Amy’s Approach to Live Auctions & Paddle Raises

Amy focuses on creating an authentic connection between the room and the mission behind it.

She leads with energy and heart, guiding guests to feel inspired to give, not obligated. Every event she does runs by this mantra:

The mission comes first, always — because that's where the magic happens.

Experience On Stage &
In Live Events

Amy has spent more than 20 years leading philanthropic events, from emcee to gala chair to hands-on auction partner.

Her path started in broadcast journalism, then led corporate philanthropy for a Fortune 500 company before finding her true calling in nonprofit development.

She's been described as a ball of energy that lights up a room and doesn't stop.

Working with Nonprofits

Nearly a decade in nonprofit development, focused on healthcare and education, has given her a deep understanding of donor psychology and what it takes to plan a major event. She's a hands-on partner in every part of the process, from soliciting packages to spotting bids to leading the room herself. When she commits to a mission, she brings her full heart and energy to help it win.

A Fundraising Moment She’ll Never Forget

During a live fund-a-need for pediatric cancer, Amy interviewed more than 40 patients and families on stage, live to the room and live-streamed to screens across the city, entirely without a script. Two hours later, she stepped off stage buzzing, having just done what she'd been told couldn't be done.

What Event Partners Can Expect
When Working With Amy

Amy believes a successful auction is a partnership, not a solo act. She studies each organization's mission and audience, preparing intentionally to create moments that inspire real generosity. She doesn't take every event; she chooses organizations whose values align with her own — and once she commits, she brings her full heart, energy, and expertise to help your mission win.

Favorite Part of Auction Night

Amy's favorite part of the night is that moment when the room fully connects with the mission… when guests stop watching and start believing, and the energy takes over from there.
