Rachel Heinzinger Jacobson

“I joined the board because I was lucky to be held by a strong religious community during my hardest moments, and I want to help create that same sense of belonging and support within the Rainbows community, and I’m excited to contribute to creating a ripple effect where children feel seen, families feel supported, and others are inspired to show up for this incredible cause, just like my community once did for me."

By day, Rachel Jacobson works as an Ecommerce Sales Manager at Whole Earth Brands, where they focus on bringing natural, organic, Fair-Trade sugars and sweeteners directly to consumers. Their background includes 9 years in the Food & Beverage, and they've previously worked at or been involved with Tiesta Tea, Nielsen-Massey Vanilla and Jelly Belly Sparkling Water.

Rachel brings compassionate, vibrant, and resourceful energy to the board, and is especially passionate about the Rainbows mission because she knows firsthand what grief feels like at a young age. She has experienced multiple losses in her life that shaped her understanding of how important it is to have a safe space to process pain. What makes Rainbows so powerful to her is that it supports children and families through all types of grief and life transitions. Not just the death of a parent, but divorce, incarceration, deployment, and more. It's full-circle healing for the wide range of emotions kids experience.

When Rachel is not working or attending board meetings, you can find them traveling, hosting a dinner party, trying a new workout class, organizing different spaces in her home or playing a board game with friends and family.

One fun fact about Rachel: I like putting yellow mustard on practically everything I eat.
