Meet Reneé

I bring more than two decades of senior development experience at the University of Chicago, the School of the Art Institute, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago Cares and the American Cancer Society. Across those institutions I built major gift programs, led board engagement strategies and developed the fundraising infrastructure that sustains complex organizations over time. I founded rkf Solutions to bring that same practical, implementation-focused approach to nonprofits as a flexible partner: helping organizations build fundraising cultures that endure and giving teams the tools to actually use them.

If you are in Chicago, you can find me biking around the city year-round. And if you are somewhere else, you might find me there, too- I love to travel, soak in new experiences and learn about people and places!
