Story-Driven Fundraising Made Easy

We help nonprofits clarify their message, tell stories to inspire individual donors, and run campaigns to raise more money — without hiring a full-time team.

Help donors easily understand what you do and why it matters in plain, simple terms.

Step-by-step guides to help you launch campaigns quickly.

Expert services to support storytelling and fundraising — so you can focus on mission.

Without a clear story, fundraising efforts fall flat.

If donors are confused, if funders can’t see the impact, or if your team doesn’t know how to talk about the work, you’re stuck.

How many gifts and grants have you lost out on — not because the work isn’t good, but because people don’t get it?

But building a story-driven donor fundraising system can feel impossible when you’re already stretched thin. Most nonprofit leaders don’t have a message they feel confident in — or the time to figure it all out.

Rainmaker helps you fix that. It’s a step-by-step system to craft a message that works everywhere: in a grant report, a donor email, a pitch deck, or a hallway conversation.

You get the tools, templates, and support to stop guessing and start growing — no matter where your funding comes from.

(Launching Fall 2025)

Hi, I’m Ben, and I created Rainmaker.

I’ve spent nearly 20 years working with nonprofits on messaging, fundraising, and strategy — often as a one-man-band trying to do it all. (Sound familiar?)

I’ve seen incredible missions get stuck because the story wasn’t clear, the tools weren’t there, or the team just didn’t have the bandwidth.

That’s why I created Rainmaker: a simple, plug-and-play system to help you get clear, get organized, and raise real money without burning out.

I’ve been in your shoes, so I can tell you with 100% confidence:

You’re not bad at fundraising — you’re just overwhelmed, under-supported, and trying to do too much without the right tools.

Testimonial

“The Rainmaker transformed my whole approach to storytelling and fundraising. In stripping away industry jargon, I’ve found the heart of our mission. I believe my organization has the tools to inspire new donors to become part of our story.”

— Jordan S., Nonprofit Professional
