About
I’m Rachel Yves (sounds like Eve): writer, creative problem-solver, and advocate for intentional change. With a background in producing impactful marketing content and a passion for community-driven solutions, I bring clarity, beauty, purpose, and optimism to all my projects.
I recently completed a certification in fundraising and development, complementing my growing expertise in grant writing. My mission is to braid kindred intent among funders, partners, and organizations. To accomplish this, I deliver beautiful (and strategic) materials that capture attention and articulate goals to secure the audience and resources organizations need to make a meaningful impact.
When I’m not writing, you can find me reading, hiking trails, doing soul-feeding data entry for The Hopeful Encyclopedia, or penning speculative science fiction inspired by real-world change-makers. Let’s connect and create something extraordinary together.
Organizations I support:
Unitarian Universalist Church of Muncie (Delaware County, IN): I volunteer with UUCM’s Social Justice Committee, tutor Afghan refugees through their informal program, and will give a guest talk in December 2024.
League of Women Voters (Delaware County, IN): I started volunteering with LWV in 2024, working multiple events to register voters and represent the league to new faces.
Alexandria-Monroe Township Historical Society (Madison County, IN): The newest of my volunteer opportunities, I’m working with the AMTHS to outline organizational priorities before pursuing funding.
Ellsworth Pride (Hancock County, ME): I volunteered as a public face of the organization and backend administrator in 2023. The committee members and mission have my enduring love.
Electronic Frontier Foundation, ACLU, The Elephant Sanctuary are where I encourage friends and family to donate on my behalf.
