“I personally love the opportunity to work with organisations on communicating their impact to the right audiences, at the right time, leading to improved fundraising performance and ultimately building capacity. This might be achieved through strategy development, implementation or coaching but ultimately, the goal is the same; to help our clients fulfil their mission for our communities.”
Clare is a fundraising, marketing and governance professional with more than 25 years’ experience working in the not-for-profit sector in key leadership roles, for organisations large and small. With a track record of increasing fundraising income through the development and implementation of ambitious yet achievable plans, Clare also has extensive experience aligning marketing and fundraising strategies to deliver optimal performance in both areas. Supporting the long-term success of fundraising strategies through professional coaching is something Clare is passionate about.
“Clare delivered a concise fundraising strategy in both a logical and energetic manner which we can now apply to many of our own activities. The whole process was thoroughly professional and justified employing AskRIGHT to provide an external perspective."
