“Karen is a very knowledgable resource development professional with a wide array of RD experiences. My role as an external consultant working with Karen at the Boys & Girls Club of Wisconsin Rapids was to help Karen and her board members develop an annual campaign. Karen provided tremendous leadership to every aspect of the process and effectively demonstrated her experience when it came to developing policies, identifying & evaluating prospects, implementing a database system, and engaging volunteers in the solicitation process.”

"We have worked together on various grants throughout this past year with perparing budget figures, finalizing reports and other financial documents.

WHAT DO CLIENTS AND COLLEAGUES SAY ABOUT KAREN DOVE?
On behalf of the Boys & Girls Club and our Board of Directors we would like to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding services Karen Dove Consulting provided the organization during the past six years. For the first time in our history the organization received significant dollars from grants which enable us to serve an unprecedented number of youth. Because of your ability and vision, the Club received over $1 million in additional dollars through grants, foundations and governmental funding.
The sucess was not just in dollars attained but the numerous projects you completed in the utmost professional standards. Projects that include the capital campaign case statement, strategic planning, board training, marketing materials, research and the "special" Karen Dove touches on our special events. You were instrumental in helping move this organization forward. The progress made in the last six years would not have been so great if not for you. The respect I have for you and your work are a testament to your performance.
I cannot thank you enough for the work you have done. If a letter of reference or a phone call is needed please do not hesitate to ask and I will gladly share our success stories that were a result of Karen Dove Consulting.
Clifford J. Stoner, President & CEO
Boys & Girls Clubs of Rockford, Illinois
