Amy L. Kornbluth

Amy Kornbluth believes that transformative philanthropy happens when strategy and relationships move in lockstep. For more than two decades, she has partnered with leading nonprofit institutions to design ambitious fundraising efforts that strengthen organizations for the long term. Known for her steady counsel and ability to guide leaders through pivotal growth moments, Amy brings clarity, structure, and momentum to complex campaigns and major giving programs.  

As a Senior Vice President at CCS, Amy advises clients on major and principal gifts strategy, organizational planning, and comprehensive campaign management. She has led and supported campaigns ranging from $5 million to $1 billion, helping organizations build disciplined major gifts pipelines, align leadership around bold goals, and elevate development operations. Her work spans healthcare, higher education, arts and culture, faith-based institutions, advocacy organizations, and independent schools. Selected engagements include American Friends of Hebrew University, New York Botanical Garden, Northwell Lenox Hill Hospital, NYU Langone Health, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, The Public Theater, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, Temple Israel of Westport, Saint David’s School, StoryCorps, Hadassah Women’s Zionist Organization of America, and Sarasota Opera. 

Amy’s approach is informed by her early career in frontline fundraising and advocacy. As a Development Executive at UJA Federation of New York, she partnered closely with major donors to advance high-impact philanthropic priorities. During her decade with the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, she led patient advocacy initiatives, recruited national board members to serve on special committees, and built and trained a nationwide network of volunteer legislative advocates who represented the organization on Capitol Hill. These experiences continue to shape her counsel to clients, grounding her work in both strategic insight and practical execution. 

Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, Amy has called Manhattan home for nearly 20 years. She lives on the Upper East Side with her husband, Seth, and their two children. She spends many weekends cheering from the sidelines of various fields and courts around the city.
