Welcome back if you’ve been observing In The Looop for a while ~ thank you for sticking with us!



That said, we present this week’s 4 thoughtful relationships that we know by heart: Relationships that sparked real conversations, opportunities, and ideas worth knowing about.








Crystal Petry helps nonprofits win grants and build lasting funding strategies through expert writing, coaching, and training.

She’s looking to connect with Executive Directors or founders of small to mid-sized nonprofits pursuing grants without a dedicated strategist, especially those preparing for growth and seeking $50K+ in funding.


Introductions to leaders in nonprofits who fit this profile would be especially valuable. Crystal is happy to provide a short overview blurb for easy forwarding if needed.

Introductions to professionals who can support retail expansion, distribution partnerships, or acupuncture referral relationships would be especially valuable.
