Our Partners, Directors and Board Members: More Than a Phone

Our Team

Our Nonprofit Partners

We couldn’t sustain this program without the help of our local shelters. More Than a Phone was started in Central Indiana in mid-2017 with the help of our local agencies. Their feedback helped us to create a program we launched nationally in October 2018. We now have over 60 shelters providing smartphones to survivors of domestic violence.

Our Directors

Julie Moorehead

Executive Director

Julie graduated with a degree in both microbiology and genetic biology from Purdue University. She found herself naturally more attracted to the nonprofit sector and served on the board of the Marion-Grant County Humane Society for five years before moving with her family to Carmel, IN. This transition brought about the desire to engage in the sector more formally. She received a master’s degree from the IU Lilly School of Philanthropy and a graduate certificate in nonprofit management from the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

Julie and her husband Scott, CEO of Round Room, met in high school and have been married since 2004. Julie is actively involved in the family business, supports the corporate good initiatives and design for their companies. She and Scott both value their communities, and giving back is a big part of the way they do business.

Julie is a mother to Mason and Marlee and her four-legged friends Jax, Ralphie, Hazel, and Luna. She is also the Executive Director of Round Room Gives, and she sits on the Learning to Give board, Christel House Academy board, and the IU Health Medical Center Philanthropy Council.

Courtney Kibble

Program Director

After receiving her bachelor’s degree from Indiana University, Courtney returned to her roots in Indianapolis and for much of her life has been a “professional volunteer.” She spent numerous years volunteering in many capacities with Kappa Kappa Gamma, The Children’s Museum Guild of Indianapolis, Brooke’s Place for Grieving Young Children, Jameson, Inc., The Hero Project for Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent, SPORTS Youth Baseball League, and the Hamilton Southeastern Touchdown Club. She currently serves on the board of directors for Hamilton Southeastern Young Life and was recently elected to the board for The Coburn Place, a local Indianapolis shelter dedicated to empowering survivors of intimate partner violence.

Courtney met her husband Derek at Indiana University, and they have been married since 1998. They have three sons: Max, Sam, and Eli. After being a stay-at-home mom and professional volunteer, she decided to seek employment where she could put her many skills to work giving money, in addition to giving her time, to the community. More Than a Phone was the perfect match, and she has been working with Julie since 2019 growing the resources to expand the reach of the nonprofit.

Jackie Cisneros

Associate Development Director

Jackie received her bachelor’s degree from Valparaiso University where she majored International Business and Spanish. As an undergraduate student, she was involved in Delta Sigma Pi, worked in residential life, and studied abroad. She has always loved to travel and wanted to bring a global perspective to her career. Jackie moved to Indianapolis in 2018 and worked for Charles Schwab. Shortly thereafter, she felt called to the nonprofit sector. She then worked in the development office at the International School of Indiana where she found a passion for fundraising.

In 2022, Jackie graduated with her MBA from Ball State University. She joined the More Than a Phone team as the Associate Development Director in July 2022. She looks forward to working with donors and fundraising for such an impactful organization that reaches so many survivors.

Jackie was married to her husband, Jonathan, in 2022 and they live in Carmel, IN.
