Natasha Gonzalez - Community Fundraising Consultant
Hi, I’m Natasha
I write under the name Terra Rhea Rising and am an educator, writer, and lifelong advocate for community and environmental well-being. A native of Columbus, Nebraska, I’ve built my career on resilience, adaptability, and a deep commitment to helping others. From early work in agriculture and service industries to launching my own cleaning business, I learned the value of perseverance and creating spaces where people and communities can thrive.
After earning my bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Public Administration, I taught English Language and Citizenship courses as an Adult Education Instructor. Now based in New Jersey, I continue to pursue my passion for education and service, while beginning my Master’s program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
My work seeks to awaken our shared responsibility to the earth and to one another. The name Terra Rhea, meaning “earth,” reflects my calling to rise with the planet in truth, healing, and connection. My first book, Raise to Rise: An Introduction to the Movement, launches Sacred Earth Rising, inspiring reflection, empowerment, and a renewed sense of responsibility toward people and planet.
I am passionate about uplifting others, breaking cycles of harm, and helping individuals and communities rise to their fullest potential — a mission I carry forward in every classroom, project, and collaboration.

My Approach
At Sacred Earth Community Solutions, my approach is grounded in creativity, sustainability, and community empowerment. I believe that every project — from fundraising events to public art — is an opportunity to uplift people and honor the earth.
I work closely with organizations, schools, and community groups to create customized solutions that reflect their goals, values, and unique communities. Whether through hands-on workshops, creative fundraising, or collaborative design projects, I focus on connection, engagement, and long-term impact.
Every step of my work is inspired by the principles of Raise to Rise: nurturing potential, fostering resilience, and encouraging individuals and communities to thrive together.
Dream it
Every great project starts with a vision. Together, we explore ideas, uncover goals, and imagine what’s possible for your community, school, or organization. Whether it’s a mural, fundraising event, or creative initiative, this is where inspiration takes root.
Build it
Dreams become reality through action. I help turn your vision into tangible results — from planning and strategy to hands-on execution. With creativity, collaboration, and sustainability at the core, we bring your project to life in a way that uplifts people and honors the planet.

Testimonials
Angela Gasper - Healthy Volunteers Alliance
“I have had the opportunity to work with Natasha in her role as Executive Director of my nonprofit organization as well as in her capacity as a designer. She consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism, creativity, and leadership.
Her work reflects an exceptional eye for detail and strong organizational skills. From developing and managing our website to contributing to broader community initiatives, she brings both technical ability and creative vision. Her background in education, mentoring, and community engagement further strengthens her ability to approach projects with insight and purpose.
What sets her apart is her versatility —she is equally skilled in strategic planning, public communication, and artistic design. Most recently, she has taken on the design of my website: www.healthyvolunteersalliance.org. Natasha was able to help with everything from logo design, content creation, setting up our domains, email addresses and so much more.
I can recommend Natasha with confidence to any organization or client seeking a reliable, innovative, and results-driven professional.”
Naisreen Naidoo - Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club
“We had the absolute privilege of working with Natasha for our fall fundraiser for Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club. From start to finish, she brought incredible energy, creativity, and organization to every aspect of the event. Her ideas were bright, innovative, and thoughtful, and it was such a joy to watch her bring them to life, especially when she was putting together our raffle baskets, which were nothing short of stunning.
Natasha also ran our raffle table during the event and handled many of the announcements with such ease and confidence. She has a rare combination of enthusiasm, professionalism, and skill. She’s an excellent communicator, has an amazing eye for detail, and truly knows how to make things come together seamlessly. Natasha is someone who doesn’t just show up; she elevates everything she touches.”
