Clairification Information

After working briefly as an attorney, and then in legal publishing, I decided a better way (for me) to help people was through philanthropy. What followed was a 30-year career as a frontline leader helping raise millions of dollars. Having overseen staff of 20+ professionals for such organizations as San Francisco Food Bank, Jewish Family and Childrens Services, San Francisco Conservatory of Music and California School of Professional Psychology, I was honored as Outstanding Fundraising Professional of the Year by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. In 2011 I decided to found my own fundraising training and coaching business to serve as a resource on philanthropy for organizations, a thought partner to executive directors and boards, and a mentor to wannabe and current development (fundraising and communications) staff. I also operate Clairification as my own mini online fundraising school. Its just the type of school Id want to attend, and I hope you will too. Every week I offer helpful, in-depth articles theory, practice, tools and tips. Each ones content is the equivalent of an online webinar or conference course. But it wont take up an hour of your time and you can access the material at your convenience. Plus, tuition is almost free. Your annual $100 fee covers a full year of school. I also continue teach major gifts and legacy fundraising, serve as Chief Fundraising Coach and featured expert for Bloomerang, and contribute regularly to online publishers NonprofitPro, Candid, Network for Good, Blackbaud, and Top Nonprofits, among others. My blog was named Top Fundraising Blog by Fundraising Success. A member of the California State Bar, alumna of The Fundraising School, Conrad Teitell Intensive Planned Giving Program and Lilly Family School of Philanthropy Executive Leadership Institute, and a graduate with honors from Princeton University, I currently reside in San Francisco, California.
