Our Team
Molly Cullen
Founder, Principal Consultant
Molly has spent the last decade writing tens of millions of dollars worth of grants to resource mental health research, food access, anti-violence campaigns and programs, immigration justice, refugee services, housing access, and culturally specific health and wellness programs. She’s been a writer since kindergarten, her life benchmarked by thousands of journal entries, essays, short stories, songs, poems, and handwritten letters. In 2025, she founded Beyond the Page, a haven for writers and storytellers who want to use their voices to change the world. When not writing or managing grants, you can find her reading poetry at the nearest Open Mic, chasing around her two young children, and yapping about the benefits of the public library to anyone who will listen.
Allie Mattil
Grant Writer, Fundraising Consultant
Allie is passionate about fundraising that is grounded in community, equity, and social justice. As a fundraising professional, she prioritizes building authentic, transformative relationships that go beyond transactional interactions—relationships grounded in shared values and collective action. She is dedicated to challenging and disrupting traditional fundraising models rooted in white supremacy, individualism, and competition. Instead, she strives to cultivate philanthropic practices that center community, operate in solidarity, and foster equitable, sustainable change.
Katie Madison
Grant Writer
Katie has loved writing for as long as she can remember and always dreamed of making it into a career. She is a fiction writer in the process of publishing a book, was a columnist for a city newspaper, and ran a popular blog centering on autoimmune diseases. She is proud to intersect her passion for advocacy with prose as a grant writer for Beyond the Page Writing. Katie has lived in all corners of the United States with her husband, daughter, and dogs. She has been an Air Force spouse for almost a decade, traveled the country on speaking engagements advocating to Department of Defense leadership for military family support, and consulted on family support programs throughout the Air Force. She has spent over a year sitting bedside with hospice patients, raised over $1,000 for autoimmune disease research, mentored underserved teens, and coached youth sports teams. Katie graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Latin American and Caribbean Studies and plans to pursue further higher education in psychology. When she’s not using her voice behind a microphone or a keyboard, Katie is curled up on the couch with a latte while her toddler and her dog fight for her lap.
