“During my time as CEO, I gave Claire direction about our behavioral health nonprofit’s priority initiatives, mission-based programs, and capital projects. With this guidance, Claire independently designed a grant-seeking strategic plan for reaching our financial goals. By the end of her first year with us, Claire’s efforts had completely exceeded our expectations with a total of $15 million in funding for program operations, two capital projects, and social services expansions. Claire implemented astute prospect research, excellent writing, and the best practices for grants-cycle management. She collaborated well with her peers, program managers, financial specialists, and clinical directors across various departments and specialties. Claire offered grant-opportunity analysis and consultation to our Senior Leadership, and she prepared to submit applications quickly upon our final decisions. Claire is a skilled grant storyteller who can inspire empathy and action from our new and continuing supporters. She approaches her grant-seeking work with organization, attention to detail, persistence, sensitivity, and wisdom. She opened up new doors to sustainable funding for my nonprofit agency, and I am certain that she can do the same for yours.”

-Ken Taylor, Former CEO for Behavioral Health Nonprofit.

“Collaborating with Claire on a grant proposal for our mentorship program was a fantastic experience. Despite a busy schedule and the technical depth required, she quickly grasped our organization’s mission to increase investments in cancer-fighting startups rooted in scientific research. Claire accurately presented our program’s goals: to train cancer researchers in entrepreneurship so they can commercialize life-saving innovations. She distilled complex, highly technical concepts into clear, compelling language that highlighted each activity’s potential to bring new cancer interventions to the public. Claire's professionalism and skill were instrumental in advancing our funding goals and helped our department secure the largest grant we'd ever received at that time."

-Farnaz Bakshi, Director, Innovation for a Cancer Venture Capital Organization.

Claire is a true partner in securing sustainable funding and driving meaningful change."
