We form transformational philanthropic partnerships with nonprofit organizations and strategically engage board and staff members in building a culture of philanthropy that ensures maximum social impact.

  • "Thank you for inspiring transformational change in our work, my team, and me personally."

    Elle Harrigan, Vice President of Development, Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida

  • "I met Vicki during a 3-day nonprofit bootcamp that she facilitated. When we spoke about how to fundraise for all sizes of nonprofits, I knew that she had such a wealth of knowledge that we needed to hire her as a consultant! Through her consultation process with us, we were able to take our very small and grassroots nonprofit through our first year end giving campaign that so far has raised more than we planned. Without her incredible knowledge we would not have been able to be where we are today!"

    Bailey Hughes, Founder and CEO, The Hands and Feet

  • "Advancement Experts delivered exceptional value end-to-end. The engagement was marked by clear strategic framing, disciplined project management, and consistently strong professional communications. From day one, prompts were focused, timelines were respected, and expectations were explicit—there was no ambiguity or wasted motion."

    — Jeff DeMario, CEO Vita Nova

  • "The engagement of all stakeholders was invaluable. The time dedicated to ensuring everyone had the opportunity to share their input was extremely important, and it was executed so effectively because Vicki took the time to understand our organization’s culture from the very beginning."
