Aude‑Eureka Mondé, Community Foundation of Sarasota County

At our Community Foundation, we host multiple nonprofit workshops throughout the year, with a goal of teaching them new skills or sharpening them with new knowledge and trends in the industry.

Dana doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to recommending platforms and best new practices based off the problems and goals our nonprofit partners bring to the table during a live training session. Our foundation, as well as our nonprofit partners, are always excited to work with her year after year!

Whether it’s engaging a room of 200+ nonprofit professionals (seasoned and new to the game) with a powerful presentation, or provide coaching and feedback to a small group of nonprofit newbies, Dana Synder is the digital marketing expert you want to work with.

amanda dafonte, network for good

She takes the time not only to explain key concepts, but show them in action. She was able to introduce new topics and techniques to our audience that left them feeling inspired, rather than overwhelmed. I would absolutely recommend any kind of learning coming from Dana.

Dana is an engaging, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable speaker! Her presentation makes you feel like you are sitting in the room with her.

natalie carns, sarkey's foundation

Dana came as a breakout speaker for the Southwest Regional Leadership Forum. She was a standout presenter and helped further Sarkeys Foundation’s mission in supporting nonprofits in Oklahoma.

Her expertise seamlessly blended insightful strategies with compelling anecdotes, leaving the audience inspired with actionable takeaways. 

floyd jones, givebutter

I loved how she leveled with our audience. Instead of speaking in terms that no one understood, she directly opened up her ads account and SHOWED us how to build an ad. She worked with us and was invested in our success. Dana is a dynamic, gifted speaker who provides insight and excitement. We can't wait to have her back!

Dana is a social media and digital marketing TITAN! Her points were timely, effective, and engaging. 

SARAH BOVE, AFFILIATE RELATIONS SUSTAINABILITY SPECIALIST, DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Her interactive workshop helped session-goers learn how to analyze their audience and create purpose-driven content, yielding impactful results. Attendees provided positive feedback, saying that Dana was both knowledgeable and highly engaging. Dana was a pleasure to work with and comes highly recommended!

"Dana was a fantastic asset at the 2019 Dress for Success Affiliate Leadership Conference in Vancouver, Canada, where she shared her expertise in nonprofit digital strategies."

CAITLIN MENDOZA-PRICE, SPAY NEUTER PROJECT OF LOS ANGELES

What I loved was the number and value of the tools she gave us right out of the gate. Her ideas were so amazing and inspired creativity around events that I haven't felt since Covid hit. AMAZING!”






“Dana's webinar was by far the most valuable webinar I've ever attended. In fact, I'd rate this above any Convention session I've ever attended."

JILLIAN HASNEr, PRESIDENT & CEO of TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN

She is clearly an expert in her field and easily conveyed her knowledge to even those of us that are less social media savvy. Positive Equation is an investment for any nonprofit, not an expense!”

“Dana gets five stars from Take Stock in Children! Dana presented content that is informative, engaging, and actionable for all levels."

Joe huber, sprout social

"Dana Bakich is professional, smart, and sharp on the fly. She moves with the flow of the conversation and elevates the quality of both production and content."





A.J. Steinberg, CFRE
