The Dotted Line Collaborative (DLC) was launched to meld my desire to serve others with my extensive career in corporate communications and investor relations. Moving into the nonprofit sector was a mindful shift from supporting corporate programs using my skills in writing, project management, marketing, and training to a place of sustaining nonprofit organizations, schools, and faith-based communities through grant research, proposal writing, communications, and program management. With each grant approval, I feel I am contributing to the common good. DLC partners with nonprofits, schools, and faith-based organizations to locate potential funding sources, write and submit grant proposals, manage funding programs, and build communications plans to help them meet their strategic and financial goals. Services include: Grant readiness review, grant/funder research, grant proposal development, grant review and editing, grant award management, and communications consulting.
