I am a New York-based Fundraising Consultant and Graphic Designer. I love knitting, collecting vinyl toys, and speed-reading sci-fi and fantasy novels. 

I partner with museums and mission-driven nonprofits to strengthen their fundraising strategies, build sustainable donor relationships, and unlock new revenue opportunities. Drawing on more than a decade of experience in development and graphic design, I offer hands-on, strategic support tailored to each organization’s goals and capacity.

How I Support Clients:
 

• Major gifts strategy and individual giving program development

• Event planning and execution, from small cocktail receptions to large galas

• Corporate sponsorships and strategic partnership cultivation

• Grant prospecting and writing, with an emphasis on alignment and storytelling

• Data cleanup and CRM optimization for more efficient fundraising operations

• Donor communications and case messaging and design that inspires action

• Interim development support and coaching for lean or transitioning teams

• Logo design, branding, and product design for museum stores with an eye for mission-aligned design

Current Focus Areas:

🎨 Museums, arts & culture organizations
📚 Education, humanities, and community-focused nonprofits
🌱 Organizations seeking to grow their fundraising infrastructure intentionally and sustainably

I collaborate closely with teams to ensure that the strategies we build together are actionable, effective, and aligned with your mission.

Let’s connect if you’re ready to take your fundraising or design to the next level—or want to bounce ideas around. You can schedule a meeting here, or send me an email at rachelpaigekatz@gmail.com.
