Rachel Loomis Lee

I am a dynamic fundraiser and relationship builder with a passion for creating lasting impact through strategic philanthropy and donor engagement. My experience spans various roles where I have successfully helped organizations exceed their fundraising goals, secure major gifts, and build sustainable donor communities. With a knack for storytelling and relationship-building, I bring energy, creativity, and a results-oriented approach to every challenge.

In my current role as Director of Development at Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, I spearheaded fundraising initiatives that significantly increased donor engagement and annual contributions. I have built strategic relationships with major donors, corporate sponsors, and foundations, ensuring the long-term financial health of the organization. My previous experience as a Senior Philanthropy Officer at Island Institute allowed me to cultivate and secure major gifts, leading to a remarkable 30% increase in repeat contributions and achieving the highest fall appeal return in the institute's history.
