Claire’s Consulting to Strengthen Philanthropy
Claire is more than an inspiring speaker. She is a results-oriented strategist and implementer. She and her partner, David Burnett, work with corporate and social profit clients, as well as with families. We help clients achieve their goals through understanding and mobilizing the lessons of American generosity.

Who Are Our Clients?
We work most often with community foundations and financial services companies, but also with healthcare providers, universities, and national volunteer organizations such as the United Way, Easter Seals, and the Boy Scouts of America. We are happy to provide references on request.

What Do We Do?
We design and facilitate strategic planning retreats for Boards of Directors/Trustees and senior staff. These events focus on building the capacity of leaders to build social profit through well-run, effective organizations.

We research, organize and facilitate community planning events designed to build shared goals and collaboration among multiple constituencies.

We develop and conduct workshops for financial professionals on how to incorporate responsible philanthropic guidance in their practices.

We conduct workshops for fundraising staff on the uses of history in their work, often with a special focus on WOMEN givers.
