Testimonials

  • “Karen is a skilled writer and was able to distill our complex programs into clear, compelling language for donors. I’ve worked with many contractors and writers over my career, and Karen stands out as one of the easiest to work with – her proactive communication, ability to manage several projects at once, and the quality of her work saved us so much money and time. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any organization seeking to elevate their grant and report writing efforts.”

    —Heather Kaczrowski, Director of Grants Management at Room to Read

  • “Karen conducted grant research for us, identifying new funding opportunities to support our critical programs and services. The finished files and materials that she provided us with were easy for us to use and informed our fundraising planning for the coming year.”

    Dominique Petersen, Former Associate Director of Development at Corazon Healdsburg

  • “Karen has a big picture understanding of development, and also has great creativity in designing individual campaigns that connect with our donors in a heartfelt and emotional way. Whether she is writing an annual development plan, a grant, or a direct mail campaign, she works quickly and effectively. She is a pleasure to work with!”

    —Ron Karp, Executive Director at Food For Thought

  • “Karen is an exemplary grants professional with a consistently outstanding work product. She is fearless in seeking out whatever information will strengthen a proposal and maintains a strong commitment to representing student voices and perspectives. Karen's knowledge of the entire fundraising cycle allows her to step into the shoes of the funder and make decisions based on what information and language will be most persuasive. She is also extremely efficient with her time, which just adds to the value of her work. I would highly recommend working with Karen!”
