A note from Rachel
When I’m not writing mysteries, I serve as a Donor Relations Director and Relationship Events strategist for the Alzheimer’s Association, where I’ve had the privilege of working closely with donors, building meaningful relationships, and leading high-impact fundraising events that raise hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
Through this work, I’ve seen firsthand what truly drives generosity, and what doesn’t. Donor Blueprint was born from that experience. I created it to share the strategies, insights, and real-world lessons I’ve learned along the way, so others in the nonprofit space can raise more, connect deeper, and do even greater good.
