The right kind of support your nonprofit needs, when you need it.
Coaching AND Consulting - we provide both.
We believe that a successful nonprofit navigates the organization’s path toward a sustainable future by creating an effective governance structure with strong leadership, sound legal and financial management policies, and a plan that ensures adequate resources and people to advance its mission.

Leadership development
“The Women in Medicine Legacy Foundation has been utilizing the services of Vicki Burkhart and The More Than Giving Company since 1999. Serving as our Executive Director, Vicki’s strategic thinking and foresight has guided our Foundation to the critical point where we are “pivoting” our priorities, with a focus on governance, program realignment, and the expansion of funding sources. Vicki and The More Than Giving Company staff have guided us to purposefully strengthen our mission into a “hub” for the history of women in medicine and the medical sciences and have helped us gather the leadership on our board in order to make the shift.”
— Julia Haller, President, The Women in Medicine Legacy Foundation
Here’s why we stand out.
Strategic Planning
Our strategic planning process involves the board and key stakeholders in developing a plan that is equal parts visionary and strategic. We also create a structured implementation schedule that enables your organization to successfully get to the next level.
Board Development
Our approach is based on shared expectations as outlined in a well-articulated board position description. We begin by looking inward at the current board complement to identify the strengths and weaknesses so we can develop the strategies for addressing both. We then employ a process for identifying, cultivating, recruiting, and engaging new board members who will make an impact.
Capacity Planning
A capacity build speaks to broaden the organization on all levels: financial resources, professional staffing, volunteers, vendors, and in-kind services. We take a comprehensive position, examining exactly where greater capacity is needed and determining how your organization will be successful in securing it.
Leadership Support and Development
All good leaders know when to seek advice. Our coaching and leadership development is provided by seasoned nonprofit professionals who have decades of experience in the trenches - and in some cases, still serve in leadership roles themselves. We can provide valuable guidance and direction to nonprofit CEOs, executive directors, board presidents, and other key leaders.

“As a small organization, we were looking for strategic guidance to develop a path toward growth. We had numerous advisors and a lot of enthusiasm, but no clear, pragmatic partner who could help us build a plan and execute on it. Vicki’s willingness to dive right in and help, balanced with expertise and a commitment to a plan, made working with Vicki really appealing.”
