Dr Claire Routley has worked in fundraising for over twenty years, for charities large and small. In 2011, she completed a PhD looking at why people choose to leave charitable legacies. She is now consultancy director at Legacy Futures, and a tutor for the Chartered Institute of Fundraising’s qualification courses. She is also a member of Rogare’s international advisory panel.

“Throughout my career, I've benefited hugely from the generosity and wisdom of other fundraisers. Joining the board of The Elischer Foundation is a great way for me to say thank you to the sector that I love, and help to ensure that the next generation of fundraising leaders have access to the same type of support at a crucial stage in their career.”
