Made to Flourish president Matt Rusten today announced the appointment of Kimber Hartmann as the organization’s new vice president of development. Hartmann brings to the role significant experience in nonprofit fundraising, with a track record leading advancement strategy, building donor relationships, and guiding teams toward sustainable growth. 

“Kimber is a gifted leader who not only inspires generosity but also equips and empowers teams to thrive,” said Rusten in a statement. “We are thrilled for the way her leadership will strengthen our development team and our entire organization.”


Made to Flourish is a Kansas City-based nonprofit that supports churches in training Christians to integrate their everyday lives — including paid and unpaid work — into the Christian faith. MTF also publishes the award-winning Common Good magazine. Hartmann will lead the organization’s fundraising efforts, which include nurturing portfolios of individual donors, directing MTF’s foundation grant strategy, and managing development staff. 

“I am grateful to join Made to Flourish and to help advance a mission that resonates deeply with my faith and experience,” said Hartmann. “I look forward to partnering with our donors, churches, and colleagues to grow lasting impact.” 

Prior to joining Made to Flourish, Hartmann led advancement and strategic initiatives for organizations such as I Am Second, the Center for BrainHealth at UT Dallas, and Advocates for Community Transformation. She currently serves in leadership roles with the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary and Crystal Charity Ball and has been active across the Dallas nonprofit community. 

Hartmann is also a former attorney and managing shareholder at a Dallas law firm, and she is a member of the Dallas and American bar associations, as well as the State Bar of Texas. She is an alumna of Southern Methodist University.

Kimber and her husband, Michael, live in Dallas and have three sons.
