“The Connection was looking to build long term fundraising capacity. CCG was with us every step of the way. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. CCG was able to help us understand what kind of investments would be needed to build our development capacity and to help us conduct a search for the right development professional.”

“Clemow Consulting Group conducted the feasibility study for the Hartford Stage ‘Act Now For the Future’ Capital and Endowment Campaign, and assisted with developing our fundraising strategy for the early stages of the campaign. Intuitive and perceptive, Susan Clemow provided an expert assessment of the funding potential for our ambitious fundraising effort, and thoughtful guidance on how to proceed when our board unanimously approved the launch of the Act Now for the Future campaign. “

“Susan Clemow provided invaluable guidance to the New Britain Museum of American Art when completing our $27 million Capital Campaign, and when launching our present Fund for American Art. At critical periods, she suggested strategic moves that reinvigorated and refocused our efforts. She has a deep understanding of our community and wide-spread contacts. Susan is a seasoned professional. She is a person of enormous integrity and resourcefulness. I am most grateful to her for helping us achieve success over the last 10 years.”

“The Women & Girls’ Fund of the Main Street Community Foundation worked with Clemow Consulting to form a Development Plan to increase our endowment over the next five years. Susan’s suggestion to engage former board members allowed us to bring some great women back into the fold, and ensure the success of our project. Everyone was excited about the plan, and we are in the process of implementing it now.”

“One of the major points suggested by CCG was in the area of Board governance. Susan pointed out the importance of analyzing our Board of Directors to see whether we had the skills and talents that we needed. As a result of that analysis, we are gathering a superb group of Board members. CCG has been of immense help to Noah Webster House.”
