Inspirational resource for nonprofits!

Missions to Movements is a great resource for making an impact! Often times we get got up in what’s trendy instead of what will be most impactful and truly engage with those who seek to support our mission. M2M really puts things into perspective with useful and actionable recommendations.

Fresh, actionable, inspiring

Dana’s approach to fundraising, specifically recurring monthly giving establishes her as THE thought leader in the space. Beyond that, she gives real actionable, tools and strategies for nonprofits of all sizes to get onboard that bullet train. It was my honor to be on this podcast - and as an LA Development exec, it’s a mini master class whenever she drops a new episode. 10/10 recommend.

What a powerhouse!

Dana adds so much value to the fundraising world! Giving a fresh spin in bite size pieces! Super inspiring and motivating! Goals to take her full monthly giving program should be on everyone’s list for 2025!

Always Timely and Topical Info

Dana does a great job of discussing timely subjects related to monthly giving. She manages to balance a blend of specific ideas with large concepts. Her guests are always entertaining and informative but she also presents info very well when there aren’t guests. Dana’s podcast is my default Wednesday AM listen during my commute and I am constantly pausing so I can have Siri create a reminder for me to look at something in more detail when I get to my office. If you are responsible for a monthly giving program for your non-profit, this is a must-listen podcast!

Dana is a wealth of knowledge!

I cannot praise Dana enough! I tell others in the nonprofit world about her ALL the time! I gave her website and podcast info to workshops full of people at a conference in the fall because I realized how much I learned from her that would help so many others. I pass along her podcasts to other staff members — she doesn’t just help in my area of communications, but so much relating to fundraising! Give her a listen — her podcast with all her wisdom and amazing guests is so worth your time!

I love listening to Missions to Movements because it’s nonprofit marketing talk without the fluff. (ie. What works. What doesn’t. What’s trending. How can you save time. And who is doing it right now incredibly well.) Dana is an incredible host that always lights up the convo and shares her journey too. So grateful this pod exists. Keep going!!

I have learned ALOT

I am brand new to working within a non-profit and looked to Podcast for some help on trying to get a handle on it.

Highly recommend!

Excellent podcast for new and seasoned nonprofit professionals

This is an excellent podcast! As a relatively new nonprofit leader (I launched my nonprofit last year), I always gain valuable marketing insight to grow my nonprofit’s movement.
drucollie

Brilliant!

"Missions to Movements" is something special. Dana turns ordinary, everyday thoughts into pure gold for fundraising and marketing. If you need practical advice you can use in your job; Dana's got it. Her tips for development staff and marketers are not just brilliant; they're doable. And this isn't just some self-help jargon. Dana's honest, genuine, and even laughs, making it feel like a real conversation. If you're tired of those preachy self-help shows, this isn't that. It's grounded, authentic, and helpful without being in your face. "Missions to Movements" is a must-listen if you want fresh, relatable insights on fundraising, marketing, and more. Dana's just a dang genius, and this podcast proves it!

All Marketers Should Listen For Inspiration!

Missions to Movements is a really smart, well-delivered, and friendly teaching tool from host Dana Snyder to share her knowledge at scale with non-profit leaders. But here’s a hint — you don’t have to be involved in daily operations of a non-profit to get tremendous value from Dana. It’s worth a listen for marketers seeking a new way in or inspiration for their work!
ellenyinmusic
