Panelists
Clare
McCully, Executive Director of the Newton Schools Foundation,
is a true development professional. In her role as executive director,
Clare has increased the amount given annually to support projects
in the schools from $79,000, when she arrived in 1997, to $250,000
in 2002. During those five years, endowments grew from $400,000
to $1,200,000 as a direct result of Clare's competence as a fundraising
professional. Many outstanding teaching and learning projects in
Newton's schools have been possible only because of the increased
capacity of NSF to fund them.
Clare created
the Massachusetts Education Foundations Association in 1999. At
first, calls for assistance were coming from contiguous communities,
but soon inquiries came from all parts of the state. Thus, she invited
all of her correspondents to come to Newton quarterly for a meeting
to share concerns and experiences. In addition to the meetings,
Clare continues to be available for phone inquiries from new and
prospective MEFA members.
Clare McCully
took the lead in fostering the growth of community education foundations.
With severe reductions in education support from traditional sources,
education foundations are providing funds to drive innovation and
creativity in classrooms across the Commonwealth.
Community education
foundations are particularly aided by Clare in areas such as strategic
planning, by-laws, board make-up and funding strategies.
