I'm Dana Bean, Founder and Principal of Amplify for Good,
a Los Angeles–based fundraising and communications consultancy. We help nonprofits strengthen their development programs, engage donors, and clearly communicate their impact in ways that inspire support.
I have more than 20 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, guiding organizations through the strategy, systems, and storytelling needed to raise awareness and support for their mission.
Before launching Amplify, I served as Chief Development and Communications Officer at Union Station Homeless Services, where I led a high-performing team that grew the organization's budget from $2M to nearly $40M during my tenure.
I also helped lead public-facing campaigns that shifted regional conversations about homelessness and built momentum for housing justice. I chaired the Communications Subcommittee of the Los Angeles Providers Alliance to End Homelessness, and co-led the 2022 LA Mayoral Forum on Homelessness, convening candidates to discuss the region’s housing crisis.
Through Amplify for Good, I partner with social services, youth development, and arts organizations seeking to strengthen their fundraising and communications capacity. My consulting work includes multi-year development planning, grants management, and leadership development.
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, I enjoy making ceramics, hiking, traveling, and hanging out with my lazy rescue dog, Birdie (just picture a sassy feather duster with legs).
Reach out and let's explore how we can amplify your mission together.
