Tim Adkins is a community-builder and marketing strategist who’s spent the last 15 years helping mission-driven organizations turn good intentions into real-world impact. As Client Strategy Lead at Golden, Tim works with organizations to design volunteer experiences that scale. He translates data and storytelling into clear road-maps, so organizations can spend less time herding cats and more time changing the world.
Before joining Golden, he served as Director of Marketing & Corporate Impact at Hands On Atlanta, where he helped mobilize over 300,000 volunteers to serve over 1 million hours, scaling growth and community engagement at one of the country’s largest volunteer action centers. His earlier work with the Points of Light Civic Accelerator helped social-impact startups raise capital and level-up their storytelling chops.
Born in Detroit, now based in Atlanta, Tim is a vegan runner, cold plunge and IPA enthusiast, proud dad and husband. Whether he’s building strategy decks or running ridge lines, Tim is driven by one thing: helping people do good—better.
Claire is a volunteerism and civic-engagement leader who helps mission-driven organizations turn community needs into large-scale action. As Client Strategy Lead at Golden, Claire helps nonprofits elevate their volunteer programs, deepen supporter engagement, and scale impact through smart technology—while keeping every experience personal and human-centered.
In her past life on the inside of nonprofits, at Hands On Atlanta, she led a network of 150+ local organizations to manage and grow their volunteer programs—mobilizing the city of Atlanta around its most pressing issues and doubling the total number of volunteers engaged across the entire network.
Her time leading the Volunteerism team at United Way of Greater Atlanta prior to that, was spent partnering with hundreds of local and national companies annually to produce custom, major service initiatives, orchestrating large-scale community events, and running a youth leadership program.
At home in Atlanta, you can find her tending to her cut flower garden, working through a new cookbook, and chasing down toddlers and dogs.
