Pros

The people were intelligent, capable, and kind. They no longer work here. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Cons

If you enjoy chaos, gaslighting, and your soul being slowly crushed, then Raise for Good might be your dream employer. My time here can best be described as a cautionary tale I now tell to warn others. Leadership: A masterclass in blame-shifting. A rotating door of leadership paired with a complete lack of accountability. Leaders here excel at corporate buzzwords and performative empathy, but struggle deeply with honesty, consistency, and integrity. Work Environment: One moment you’re praised, the next you’re quietly being managed out. Gaslighting is rampant here. Private conversations are treated as information pipelines to senior leadership, often stripped of context and reframed in ways that were inaccurate and damaging. Culture: People disappeared regularly and business carried on as usual except with fewer staff and heavier workload. Doing multiple people’s jobs became the norm. Trust was difficult to rebuild and easy to lose. High turnover made continuity difficult and led to ongoing loss of institutional knowledge, which was noticeable to external partners and clients. There was no formal HR or People Operations function in place. Morale: Watching talented, hardworking colleagues burn out, disengage, or leave was the most consistent pattern. Apply if you enjoy emotional whiplash and narrative manipulation. Otherwise, protect your peace.

Pros

Appreciated my time at RFG. Worked with a team that had a lot of growth potential and met lofty goals. Clients were mission aligned and satisfied with the return of the fundraising strategy the team provided. Leadership team was supportive but sometimes tough to navigate- lots of visionaries with not enough people to execute all the time.

Cons

Work life balance was a constant WIP. Sometimes everything felt like it was on fire

Pros

Team retreats and staff-level coworkers are genuinely pleasant to work with.

Cons

Company is a facade; mission and values sound pleasant but aren’t lived out internally. Culture shows favoritism, is non-inclusive, unequal, and cutthroat. Psychologically unsafe and hostile work environment; you never know where you stand. Some of the worst HR practices. Anyone who is not favored will get pushed out of the company and either will get let go of immediately or transitioned into a part-time role without warning or opportunity for remediation, this happened to 4 people in a little over a year. CEO doesn’t take ownership, blames others for own shortcomings and lacks integrity. Power and profit hungry. Projects anxiety onto the rest of the team and operates out of a scarcity mindset. Sells work without strategy, skills, or experience for how to achieve scope of work; constantly building the plane as it’s flying.
