Honoring Karen Kallerud
18-Year United Way volunteer, community advocate and Women United member
Each year, Women United honors a woman committed to making our community a better place to live, for all. The Women United Philanthropy Award recognizes her achievements in educating, empowering and inspiring women and girls to be philanthropic leaders in Dane County. This year, we are thrilled to honor Karen Kallerud!
Karen's lifelong commitment to service began long before her two decades of impact in Dane County. She was raised along the Mississippi River in a close-knit community where her mother volunteered for 25 years with the local elementary school, helping children learn to read, while her father served on local committees for over 40 years. This family culture of generosity inspired Karen to start giving back at a young age. In college, she joined Big Brothers Big Sisters and remained matched with her "Little Sister" for all four years, deepening her belief that meaningful change begins with showing up for one person at a time.
