She’s got an energy that makes others feel empowered, and you can usually find her at the front of the line leading towards change – which is exactly why she founded The Dotted i. Through this grant writing firm, she’s able to help nonprofits pave the way to a better future. Having the opportunity to work alongside some of the most courageous and powerful nonprofit leaders (she can’t wait to meet the rest of you out there!), she gets satisfaction that her kids will grow up in a healthier community.
Bre has been Grant Professionally Certified through the Grant Professional Certification Institute since 2011 and she has been writing successful grant applications since 2008. She has a Bachelor’s of Science in Health and Human Development, Family Consumer Sciences from Montana State University. Her strengths lie in crafting a budget that tells a story, tugging at the heartstrings of funders, and finding those hidden grants that are gems. She’s multi-passionate so her clients’ passions become hers too – making it easy for her to use that fuel to earn those grant dollars!
When Bre isn’t at her computer crafting up a compelling grant narrative, she’s adventuring with her daughters and husband. She loves hiking to waterfalls, traveling to new places, sipping on a good iced coffee or kombucha, or eating her favorite food – pho.
