Testimonials
The naming tiles were very popular. After people saw the samples we had several individuals increase their donations to our capital campaign so they could have a tile. They have been incredibly durable, as well, given they are all over a very busy school building!
Rebecca HillCheif Development Officer, St. Coletta of Greater Washington
Thank you for working with us to create not only a beautiful work of art, but a staff retreat filled with learning, connections and fun.Your staff helped us – even those of us not artistically inclined – to create something we all are proud to display in our synagogue.

The design and donor wall functioned as a “motivational wall”, inspiring alumni and friends of the school to contribute to the biggest campaign in the school’s history.

Karen is a wonderful, gifted artist…she is a fundraiser’s artist. She understands the fundraising process. Over the course of the project, she served as an extra advisor to the development office; working with the staff to leverage giving opportunities through the donor wall.
Steve Titlebaum Director of Philanthropy , Capital Caring
Simply put, Karen understands the culture of our school and has captured our history & traditions in her work. Having someone who takes the time to explore what the client wants and interjecting her expert direction at the right moments is a key ingredient to a healthy working relationship.
Tom MallonDirector of Development, Archmere Academy
Fine-tuned to our institution and its capital campaign, her design encouraged new leadership level donors. A new parent looked at the mural and said, “I want my name on a stone!” Karen allowed for growth, so there were blank stones to accommodate this donor’s wish.
Sally OrrAssistant Director of Advancement , Academy of Notre Dame de Namur
Every time I bring a visitor through our building, they are transfixed by the mural. They are drawn to the textures, colors and imagery, and compelled to touch it and spend time in front of it. The mural represents our institution’s mission in a way I could never express in words.
Midy RosengartenDirector of Development, Kulanu Kids
The donor wall is one of the most attractive I’ve seen. And I’ve seen plenty.

Having the recognition program in place before solicitation really helped to sell our program. We raised $18.5 million and every single naming opportunity was taken for a new ER.
Linda FeltVice President of Development, Doylestown Hospital
If you are looking for a way to thank and recognize your supporters that goes beyond the ordinary, you should definitely call Karen Singer.
Samuel D. CaldwellPresident of The Planned Giving Company, and Former Director of Advancement at Wilmington Friends School
Karen was extremely helpful in developing the tools that enabled our prospective donors to visualize the magnetism of the wall and their prominence on it. We were able to market the beauty and legacy attributes associated with being listed on our donor wall, resulting in higher numbers and levels of gifts.
