Best FundRaising Blog
With no less than 15 nominations, Clairification.com by fundraising consultant Claire Axelrad apparently is taking the fundraising blogosphere by storm. What people are saying:
“Claire is a philanthropy guru, and I am a fan and proud follower. Her blog posts are timely, informative, engaging, helpful and easy to understand.” — Wendy Rothenberg, director of development, JVS
“That she is willing to share her considerable knowledge and can write in the same clear, to-the-point way that mirrors what we should all be doing when we reach out to our donors is a real boon.” — Janice Prudhomme, executive director, NCJW, San Francisco Section
“Claire’s innovative thinking often turns outmoded and cliched concepts around in a surprising, new vision. I find that I learn from Claire’s research and innovative thinking via her creative, engaging blog and her ability to synthesize a wide variety of information and source material. I always feel refreshed and inspired to go back and tackle my design communication projects.” — Elaine Michaud, senior graphic designer, Jewish Family and Children’s Services of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties
