Our Story
We are not software people. We are nonprofit people.
Why We Started
For passionate nonprofit leaders with limited resources who want better donor relationships. Who do not need or want overcomplicated and overpriced software. For those who focus on building meaningful individual relationships instead of following the trend of mass appeal transactional relationships.
We are driven to increase efficiency and effectiveness in nonprofit organizations. So that you may have a greater impact in the field, for the world.
What Drives You?
This sketch was drawn as a way to capture the concept of having a simple “Dashboard” that would display the most important items nonprofit leaders and fundraisers need to focus on.
This sketch was the first ideation of Dot Drives, done by Sal Ferlise; CEO of Sports Outreach Institute.
At the time, Sal had been running Sports Outreach for almost 10 years, and could not find simple solutions on the market to recurring issues he and his peers in the nonprofit sector were dealing with.
Sal has often been called a "Dot Connector" throughout his professional career by finding solutions in tough situations that drive impact and results.
During a short term missions trip to El Salvador, Sal had a brief conversation about these issues with his soon to be business partner, and long time Philanthropist, Brett. Not long after that conversation, Dot Solutions LLC. was born!
