About Laced Together
Laced Together is here to support the work you do with extensive expertise in fundraising and grant writing. I am agile enough to jump into existing systems or create new ones as we work together to develop a plan to realize your goals for your organization and the community you serve. I do this work because community is something incredibly important to me and I believe my work is here to support and fund the talented front-line workers making the difference every day. My role is to listen to your stories and needs and then craft that message into a competitive and engaging narrative for a variety of funders.
I grew up sitting at the knee of a multitude of craggy faced, elders who weaved fantastical tales of their adventures and hardships. I have taken that same story telling skill and applied it to fundraising. I am here to listen at the knee of our communities and share their stories with foundations, corporations, individual funders, and community supporters.
I have at sat on both sides of the funding table, created numerous spreadsheets, crafted more grant narratives than I can count, and learned from some incredible mentors. My goal is to apply my expertise to your work and, together, build courageous, equitable communities.
Please feel free to contact me with any projects or needs.
