Clare Zurawski

Clare Zurawski felt drawn to a career path in the social sector after formative international studies and travel in her 20s. After earning an MBA in Strategic Management and Policy at UNM, she led client services for WESST (Women’s Economic Self-Sufficiency Team) for more than a decade. In 2012, Clare accepted an international fellowship with LGT Venture Philanthropy to launch the U.S. office of streetfootballworld, a Berlin-based charity that works in more than 50 countries leveraging the power of soccer for social change. She is honored to have collaborated and locked arms with two local organizations driving economic sovereignty and opportunity - New Mexico Community Capital and Southwest Creations Collaborative - through many cycles of jubilance and setbacks. In 2025, Clare co-founded Rewa-Hope Inc. with her Buddhist teacher, Geshe Thubten Sherab. A transplant from the Great Lakes region residing as a guest on New Mexico's Pueblo lands, her consultancy is based in Santa Fe.
