Meet Rachel
Your Fundraising BFF
Rachel founded Girlstart at 26 with $500 and a credit card – and spent years figuring out nonprofit fundraising with real stakes and no safety net.
By the time she left, she'd raised over $10 million, been featured on Oprah, CNN, and the Today Show, and won Oprah Winfrey's Use Your Life Award. AFP named her Outstanding Fundraising Executive of the Year. Fast Company named her one of their "Fast 50 Champions of Innovation."
Since then, she’s led an online fundraising practice for a major software company, managed major gift portfolios for top nonprofits, and trained thousands of fundraisers nationwide.
Every program she offers is built from that experience – because Rachel knows exactly what a strategic nonprofit fundraising plan requires, and what it costs when you don't have one.
