Hi, I’m jennifer autry!
A lifelong Catholic, wife to my husband, Josh, for over 10 years, and blessed mama to six beautiful children.
My heart is deeply rooted in the life of the Church. I’ve spent years volunteering with Catholic schools and parishes, and I know firsthand the joy, sacrifice, and coordination it takes to pull off a successful fundraiser. For the past several years, I’ve helped plan a local school’s annual fundraising event—an effort that has grown to raise over $200,000 just this past year.
I also spent several years working for a professional wedding planner, where I gained valuable experience in vendor management, logistics, and day-of coordination. But my passion has always been bringing people together for a greater purpose—supporting the mission of Catholic education and ministry.
That’s why I founded AMDG Events: to serve Catholic schools, churches, and nonprofits by planning mission-aligned, high-impact events that raise the funds they need—without overwhelming their staff or volunteers.
I believe fundraising can be joyful, sacred, and stress-free when done with intention, strategy, and faith at the center.
Let’s create something beautiful—for the greater glory of God.
My Approach
At AMDG Events, my approach is rooted in faith, clarity, and collaboration.
I know that most Catholic schools, parishes, and ministries are juggling a lot—limited staff, stretched volunteers, and the constant pressure to raise funds while staying focused on their mission. That’s why I come alongside your team not just as a planner, but as a partner in your mission.
Here’s how I work:
Mission First
Every event I plan begins with your “why.” Whether you're raising money for tuition assistance, a parish renovation, or a ministry outreach, I take the time to understand your goals and ensure every detail aligns with your values and vision.
Strategy Meets Simplicity
From timelines to budgets to volunteer roles, I create clear, step-by-step plans so your team always knows what’s next. No confusion. No chaos. Just structure, support, and results.
Partnership, Not Pressure
I respect the time, energy, and hearts of those who serve in Catholic spaces. Whether I’m working with a PTO, parish staff, or ministry team, my goal is to lighten your load, not add to it. I’m here to take care of the details so you can focus on what matters most.
Prayerful, Purposeful Planning
Your event is more than a fundraiser—it’s a chance to bring people together in joy, generosity, and faith. I treat every event with reverence, professionalism, and a deep sense of purpose.
Together, we’ll create an event that raises money, builds community, and reflects the heart of your mission—for the greater glory of God.
