Amy Neumann’s Bio

Amy Neumann is a social impact entrepreneur, keynote speaker, author, trainer, technology strategist, consultant, artist, and Reiki Master.  She strives to inspire World Changers to leverage technology and engagement to do more of their mission work faster and easier, while also being more inclusive. Her passion for social good and technology led to her completing a Master’s degree from Ohio University in Law, Justice, and Culture – with a focus on global human rights and technology – in 2023, after creating positive change for thirty years.  Now, she is a PhD Candidate at OU researching how AI is impacting human interaction and creativity.

Amy enjoys discovering new social impact applications for technology and is a long-time proponent of STEM and STEAM inclusion.  With a focus on blockchain and AI, she founded a startup nonprofit called Resourceful Nonprofit (and its subsidiary, Technology Inclusion) to help nonprofits accomplish more of their goals more efficiently and effectively, while being inclusive and proactive about diversity and equity.

She is also CEO and principal of the social enterprise consultancy, Good Plus Tech. She is widely published and quoted, including in Forbes, HuffPost, Thrive Global, and Harvard Business Review.  Because she can’t get enough of innovative world-changers, Amy also publishes on her passion project site, CharityIdeas.org. Amy’s 2018 Simon & Schuster book, “Simple Acts to Change the World: 500 Ways to Make a Difference,” is a tribute to the many great ideas she’s discovered on the topics of social good, social justice, equity, technology for good, and volunteering through her work and philanthropy.  In November 2024, she released a Wiley Publishing book on artificial intelligence for nonprofits called, “Empower Your Nonprofit:  Simple Ways to Co-Create with AI for Profound Impact.”

Amy is also an active artist in the Artful Cleveland art collective, a Reiki Master, and an avid student of the wisdom of cultures both ancient and modern and their spiritual practices and traditions.
