Background

About Jake Rutherford

I help social impact organizations reveal their impact through journalistic storytelling – clarifying, surfacing, and producing editorial stories connected to their impact model so that the organization's world-changing work grows and becomes even better. As a content creator and story producer, I've contributed to over 80 long-form, short-form, and multimedia stories for 30+ companies, organizations, and publications on topics ranging from landmines to mind-controlling insects. My experience has nurtured a desire not only to tell stories about the world's problems but to tell stories directly integrated with world solutions. I'm most passionate about poverty alleviation, human rights/justice, and climate change. They’re intricately connected. I love to learn about different ways to make an impact on a variety of pressing social issues. I’m based in Austin, where my wife and I explore the world with our two small but mighty boys.who desperately want a dog.
