I'm Dana Bean, Principal and Founder of Amplify for Good,

a fundraising and communications consultancy based in Los Angeles, CA. After more than 20 years working with nonprofits, I’m known for bringing creativity, clarity, and heart to every project. I’ve helped organizations raise millions by pairing strategic thinking with authentic storytelling and relationship building. 

​

Before launching Amplify, I served as Chief Development and Communications Officer at Union Station Homeless Services, where I led a team that raised more than $60 million in private support during my tenure. I worked on public campaigns that shifted conversations about homelessness and built momentum for housing justice; chaired the Communications Subcommittee of the Los Angeles Providers Alliance to End Homelessness; and co-led the 2022 LA Mayoral Forum on Homelessness.

​

In my consulting work, I’ve partnered with social services, youth education, and arts nonprofits. My work spans multi-year development planning, grants management, major donor programs, board training, and executive coaching. ​

​​

I hold a Bachelor of Arts’ from UCLA and a Master of Public Administration with a focus on Nonprofit Sector Management from CSUN. I currently co-lead the LA Fundraiser's Network, and serve on the Board of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Greater LA Chapter. Outside of work, you can usually find me making ceramics, hiking, traveling, or hanging out with my lazy dog, Birdie (just picture a sassy feather duster on legs).
