Our people work with your people.
There’s more to nonprofits than giving.
We give nonprofits with visionary leaders and compelling missions an affordable, on-demand staffing solution to supplement the bandwidth and skillsets of their volunteer force. Our people partner seamlessly with yours to move you towards sustainable growth.
Successful fundraising isn’t enough to ensure your nonprofit’s success. Very few volunteer-driven nonprofits have in-house talent with the bandwidth and precise skillsets to address all the strategic, tactical and practical aspects of building a sustainable organization. The More Than Giving Company is built to deliver the precise support your team needs, when they need it. Our seasoned consultants can help you craft a strategic plan, recruit and develop the right board members and build capacity, and our unique Nonprofit Virtual Assistant service delivers the seasoned, affordable administrative support you need to get out of the weeds and function more efficiently.
Since 1998, we’ve grown from a one-woman nonprofit consulting firm to a 35-person strong team offering nonprofits an innovative fractional staffing model to support their growth. We are grateful for your trust and for the opportunity to support the missions of so many incredible organizations.
As a celebration of our anniversary, we thought it would be fitting to share some of the wisdom we’ve gleaned over the years. Check out our blog "25 Pearls of Wisdom from 25 Years (Part 1)" and (Part 2). These 25 “pearls” are designed to give you a curated collection of some of our best insights, organized into a road map for greater success.

We’re built on 35+ years of experience.
Vicki Burkhart, our founder and CEO, was always drawn to service. Even as an undergraduate at Penn State, she claims she spent more time volunteering on campus than she did studying. For a young woman passionate about helping as many great causes as she could, a career in the nonprofit arena seemed like a natural fit.
After earning a Master’s degree, Vicki advanced to VP/Director-level leadership positions in development and donor relations. At the same time, she was serving several other nonprofits as their Executive Director. Collectively, these roles gave her extensive, hands-on experience with major gift cultivation (including personally closing multimillion-dollar gifts), board development and strategic planning, membership development, organizational development, and administration and volunteer management.
In 1999, Vicki founded The More Than Giving Co. (originally The Burkhart Group), with the goal of giving more volunteer-driven nonprofits the tools to succeed. As Vicki built a thriving consulting and executive coaching practice and continued to serve as an Executive Director for several organizations, it became clear to her that most volunteer-driven nonprofits need to meet four key challenges to thrive: crafting a strategic plan, recruiting and engaging the right board members, building capacity, and investing in enough infrastructure – specifically administrative staff – to get things done. In other words, nonprofit success takes “more than giving.” It requires timely access to people with the right skills to address all four of these challenges.
Vicki launched her Nonprofit Virtual Administrative (NPVA®) service as an innovative solution to the pressing need for nonprofit administrative support. Long before the pandemic made remote work mainstream, More Than Giving was leading discussions around nontraditional staffing solutions for nonprofits and offering a service that stands out for its flexibility, affordability, and the resources that back it. Our NPVA® service provides remote support staff, certified in nonprofit best practices, who can be engaged for a few hours a month to 40+ with no contract required. These seasoned administrative professionals also add value through their access to their NPVA® peers, access to their nonprofit consultant colleagues, and a library of best practices resources built over 20+ years.
We’ve continued to grow our consulting practice too, assembling a seasoned team with diverse backgrounds and skillsets. They are more than just advisors; they can also work with your team to execute as needed.
Both our consulting and NPVA® practices have the capability to evolve their support as you evolve and grow, adding or subtracting hours or tapping staff members with different skillsets as you need them.
To date, The More Than Giving Co. has coached 89 organization presidents, strengthened 79 nonprofit boards, crafted over 47 strategic plans, and delivered the services of 42 Nonprofit Virtual Assistants.
Says Vicki: “Through More Than Giving, I have the opportunity to work with unbelievably dedicated and passionate volunteers, many of whom have dedicated a lifetime to causes they believe in. Together, my colleagues and I work to address their organizational challenges head-on, navigating these nonprofits to the next level. It is a joy, and feels like the realization of my professional dreams, to help so many wonderful organizations find their stride and succeed. They provide climate/sustainability education in schools, increase breast cancer screenings, rescue abandoned cats and kittens, provide scholarships for vulnerable kids, advance women entrepreneurs, and promote river watershed restoration, to name just a few.”
