"Amanda has been nothing short of amazing to work with. She’s whip smart, easy-going, incredibly well-versed in the world of New York nonprofits, Individual fundraising and foundational giving. She is accessible and flexible And in a world where the stakes can be very high, her calm and measured approach has been refreshing and in many ways life saving. " - Lucie Tiberghien, Artistic Director of Molière in the Park

"Amanda is a highly-skilled and detail-oriented administrator. She is equally adept at helping a company write and secure their next grant as she is at self-producing large scale performances. In addition to fitting in seamlessly with larger institutional teams, her development expertise has successfully established income streams for small companies that serve them long after her contract period ends. Responsive, sharp, and well-connected, Amanda is well versed in best practices for arts management." - Donald Borror, Managing Director of Chelsea Factory and Former Executive Director of Dorrance Dance

"Amanda is a force! She keeps me organized, gets me past personal hang-ups, and helps me to think and write about my work with more clarity. We are getting my budgeting in order, and her advising on fundraising has produced impressive returns. Amanda has helped me to secure opportunities I wouldn’t even have tried to approach on my own. Working with Amanda is an excellent investment. She’s fun too." - Abigail Levine, Individual Artist

"Amanda and I met while we were both consulting for Dorrance Dance. It was so refreshing to have a fellow consultant and thought partner on the team. She is extremely tuned into the performing arts nonprofit sector and is both a development/fundraising pro as well as an artist in her own right. I continue to refer many clients her way because I believe in her and trust her process and skill!" - Jenny Novac, Novac Consulting

"I highly recommend Amanda to anyone in the arts seeking administrative support - from independent artists to large organizations. She is personable, thoughtful, adaptive, and has the ability to both think big-picture and fulfill small, detail-oriented tasks. Her breadth of knowledge of the performing arts sector makes cross-departmental projects easy and helps instill a deep sense of trust between her and her clients. " - Hillary Kooistra, General Manger of Dorrance Dance 

"Amanda truly transformed my writing practice. Her willingness to support me in a variety of roles — writing teacher, coach, deadline-keeper, and editor — has been invaluable. She has a rare gift for connecting with artists and individuals who feel challenged in expressing themselves through writing, and translating that expression effectively for fundraising, grant applications, academia, and other formal institutions. Amanda’s feedback is always direct and honest, yet delivered with humor, genuine compassion, and patience. I deeply appreciate her support and guidance, and I love working with her." - Jessie Young, Individual Artist

"Working with Amanda is so much more than a consultant relationship. She is a thought partner who helps you translate your artistic vision into an effective case for funding. In addition to delivering real results, she has elevated my relationship with grant-writing - what was once painstakingly frustrating is now something I actually enjoy doing and that even feeds back into my artistic inspiration." - Rachna Nivas, Individual Artist

"I have learned so much from working with Amanda Hameline. I have directed a dance company in New York for 4 years, but now I am venturing out on some larger projects as an individual artist. I reached out to Amanda for assistance in the realms of fundraising, booking theater spaces, marketing, grants, and more. Amanda is so knowledgeable in the field, and it was so helpful to have someone like this offering wisdom, feedback, and information." - Michelle Thomspon Ulerich, Individual Artist 

"Working with Amanda was wonderful. She was clear and direct in her communication about the services she offered and the timeline of completion. She was invested in helping me articulate my motivation of art-making through both discussions on the phone and the editing of my writing. I highly recommend you hire her!" - Amber Sloan, Individual Artist
