Lisa Collins

Director of Programs & Operations

Lisa joined the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism in September of 2009. As the Director of Programs & Operations, she develops programs and activities that further the Foundation’s mission to help individuals and families with autism live life to the fullest and manages much of the administrative work that allows the organization to function on a daily basis. A significant amount of her time is spent overseeing the Foundation’s three grant cycles: the Signature Grant Program, Allison Keller Education Technology Grants and Joey’s Fund’s direct family support grants. 

Lover of ice cream as a late-night snack and dreamer of being on House Hunters International, Lisa holds a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Framingham State College. Prior to joining our team, she worked as a Business Analyst for The MathWorks, Inc. and as a Scheduling Coordinator for Focus On Service, LLC. In her free time, Lisa enjoys beach days in Maine with her husband, Don, and three kids.
