Meet Rachel
Your Fundraising BFF
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 an online fundraising consulting practice for a major software company, managed major gift portfolios for some of the country’s largest nonprofits, and become 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.
