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.

“Always happy to help!”

I say it all the time, and I really do mean it! Here are a few of the organizations I’ve loved helping out:

  • Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association, Area Representative. I love my new hometown and am happy to volunteer with and learn from the TLNA council. I ideate and create marketing materials and merch to bring neighbors together year-round.

  • The Hygiene Ladies, Founding Board Member. Central Indiana will always be a home because it is home to my roots, friends, and family. I’m happy to volunteer my marketing skills to build this new non-profit to supply hygiene products to folks in Muncie. (Registration pending as of January 2026)

  • Wisconsin’s Future Problem Solving organization sits smack dab in the middle of my quadruple Venn diagram of interests: decision making, futurism, writing, and education. I was happy to volunteer my time to evaluate student essays in January 2026.

  • Unitarian Universalist Church of Muncie (Delaware County, IN): I volunteered with UUCM’s Social Justice Committee, tutored Afghan refugees through their informal program, and gave a guest sermon in December 2024.

  • League of Women Voters (Delaware County, IN): I volunteering with LWV in 2024, working multiple events to register voters and represent the league to new faces.

  • 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 Sanctuaryare where I encourage friends and family to donate on my behalf.
