“Annalee redesigned our website (Handson.org) from our initial consultation - with ideas and long range planning to ultimate completion - with a product that is far beyond my wildest expectations. She is thorough, creative and was and is a joy to work with. I look forward to a long association with her and Lyric Systems, and her insight has opened up so many possibilities for expansion for me, I think we'll be working together for a long time to come.”

Beth Prevor, Executive Director, Hands On Sign Interpreted Performances

 

"Annalee Van Kleeck and Lyric Systems enable nonprofits to harness the power of technology to maximize the success of their fund raising efforts in an increasingly competitive and technology-driven environment. Their competent and sensitive approach provides clients with solutions uniquely tailored to their needs."

Jane B. O'Connell, President, Altman Foundation

 

"Annalee has worked with Sesame Workshop since the onset of our individual giving program.  She has helped us successfully navigate the difficult terrain of collecting and managing our donor data, creating our business processes, selecting a new donor database  and transitioning to this new software. Because of  her analytical thinking, fundraising expertise and patience, she became an integral member of the development team that  created this new philanthropic effort at the Workshop."

Carol Leister, (Former Assistant Vice President, Annual Fund, Sesame Workshop)

 

"Annalee Van Kleeck is that rarest of computer experts -– a people person.   With her sharp mind, technical expertise, and extensive knowledge of fundraising, she makes technology less scary and more user friendly for non-techies.  Whether setting up a database or designing a web site, Annalee asks the right questions and guides clients through the process so they get the results they need.  Having worked with Annalee for 20 years, I enthusiastically recommend her to all my clients."

Maggie Buchwald, Fund-raising Consultant

 

"Between Annalee’s patience and knowledge of Blackbaud Software, we had a seamless conversion from Raiser’s Edge 6 to 7. We are forever grateful, as we tend to hear nightmare stories from our colleagues at other non-profits."

Meghan McCarthy, Director of Development and Parent Liaison, School of the Holy Child, Rye, NY

 

"I cannot rave enough about your great design sense, marketing savvy, technical know-how, superior service, ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical folks (like me), and loads of patience."

Karen Caruso, President, Caruso Consulting Corporation
