Amy Harclerode’s journey to this moment is deeply rooted in service and resilience. A career fundraiser, Amy has spent over two decades building resources and partnerships to fuel missions that change lives.

Her work has always centered on connecting purpose with possibility, ensuring that communities have what they need to thrive.

Amy’s impact has been recognized across the city and state, earning her a place on the Power of Diversity: Pride 100 and as one of New York’s LGBTQ+ Power Players. In addition to her role at HMI, she Chairs the Board of GRACE, a gorilla conservation organization based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and sits on the Board of the Hurleyville Performing Arts Center.
Throughout her career, Amy has been committed to building not just funds, but movements—connecting passionate people with the causes that inspire them. She sees fundraising as a way to empower others to create change, turning collective generosity into lasting impact. This belief continues to guide her leadership at HMI, where she works to ensure that every young person has the resources and support they need to thrive.

Finance can feel like a foreign language for many fundraisers, but understanding numbers isn’t just helpful, it’s a game changer.
Joanne Curry, Head of Client Success & Principal, explores the basic accounting principles required for grant reporting, budgetary projections, and financial reconciliation. Learn about the different functions of development and finance departments and how to optimize your internal communications for better recordkeeping.
You’ll also gain insight into how development and finance teams work (and sometimes don’t work) together, and how you can bridge that gap to improve communication, accuracy, and impact.
