Personal rec from fellowship sponsor

Alex,
I recently got in touch with a HBS alum who provides fellowships for a particular group. He says he will submit a rec for me to the school. i think this will be separate from my application through channels of his own.
I'm aware that recs, even from CEOs, have no real value if they aren't detailed enough. Does this hold true for significant donors that are highly involved with school activities? In what ways can I expect my chances to increase?
I'd appreciate your professional thoughts. Thanks for your time.
