You do nonprofit fundraising.
I make you ridiculously good at it.
Nonprofit fundraising doesn’t need to feel this hard.
You got into this work to change lives — not to white-knuckle your way through another gala, stare down a board that doesn't get it, or lie awake wondering how you'll hit goal this quarter.
But somewhere along the way, fundraising started feeling like a grind: overwhelming, isolating, and way more complicated than it needs to be.
Okay, so what if you could actually look forward to fundraising?
your fundraising BFF!
I've spent 20+ years in nonprofit fundraising — raising millions, training thousands, and learning every lesson the hard way so you don't have to.
I take all of that and turn it into strategy you can actually use: practical, jargon-free, and (dare I say) fun.
I'm the fundraising friend who's been in your exact shoes and can't wait to tell you everything that works over happy hour.
Let’s get this party started:
Whether you want monthly training, weekly coaching, or a full day of my undivided attention — there's a way to make it happen:

Meet Rachel
She Knows every side of the rubik's cube that is the nonprofit sector.
I started my first nonprofit at 26 — in the living room of my apartment, with $500 and a credit card.
The mission? Empowering girls in STEM. At Girlstart I went on to raise over $10 million and land on Oprah, CNN and the Today Show.
My business cards said "Fearless Leader." I meant it.
Since then, I’ve led online fundraising consulting for:
a major software company
managed major gift portfolios for some of the country's largest nonprofits
and became one of the most sought-after fundraising speakers in the sector.
I’m a winner of Oprah Winfrey's Use Your Life Award, a three-time Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, and was named Outstanding Fundraising Executive of the Year by the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
I hold a CFRE and Certificate in Philanthropic Psychology with Distinction from the Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy.
I have served on numerous boards…and have the scars and t-shirts to prove it.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Let's talk about where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there – without the overwhelm.
