Podcast appearances and mentions of Dana Snyder

In this rebroadcast from season 9, Carrie Fox sits down with Dana Snyder, a digital strategist for nonprofits and the CEO and founder of Positive Equation. Snyder, who has supported organizations like Movember, Dress for Success, and American Idol, shares her insights on how nonprofits can effectively reach new audiences in the ever-evolving digital landscape.Consider, for example, the importance of strategic investment in social media. How are organizations to determine which channels to focus their resources on based on their values and target audience? Snyder emphasizes the significance of data-driven decision-making, recommending tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with an organization's website and social media channels. But more importantly, she highlights how most individuals are tilted toward good, and that your audience might just be comfortable in large numbers on platforms you personally find misaligned with your own values. Throughout the episode, Snyder stresses the importance of being genuinely social on social media platforms, creating platform-specific content, and fostering meaningful connections with followers. She suggests that organizations consider hiring virtual assistants to manage their social media presence if it aligns with their budgets and priorities.The conversation also touches on the role of artificial intelligence in content creation for nonprofits. Snyder offers practical advice on how to train AI tools to generate relevant and engaging content while staying true to an organization's mission and values.For nonprofits looking to make the most of their social media efforts, this episode of Mission Forward offers valuable insights and actionable tips from a seasoned digital strategist. Our great thanks to Dana for helping us to navigate the digital landscape authentically. (00:00) - Summer at Mission Forward (00:45) - Ask Carrie!

Katherine Lacefield is taking us behind the scenes of growing a monthly giving program from absolute zero to 2,000 committed donors in just FIVE years, all through grassroots efforts.You'll hear exactly how Katherine and her team used face-to-face canvassing and phone fundraising (NOT flashy ad campaigns or pricey agency consultants!) to spark long-term donor relationships. These are scrappy, creative tactics that built a high-retention recurring giving engine, all done in-house.We also dive deep into messaging strategies (like the “3 Ps” of monthly giving: proactive, project-based, and political power), why stewardship starts on day one, and how organizations can reframe their energy around fundraising.As the founder of Just Be Cause Consulting, Katherine has truly done it all in the fundraising world: major gifts, peer to peer campaigns, grants and my favorite topic, monthly giving.

Did you know that only 3% of charitable giving in the U.S. happens on a recurring basis, and moving that needle to just 5% could unlock $9 BILLION in annual funding for nonprofits?!Today I'm sharing my keynote from the 2025 Monthly Giving Summit and pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to stop treating recurring giving like a side hustle. It's time to make it the main event!Sustainable, predictable revenue doesn't happen by accident. It happens when we lead with intention, ask boldly, and invite people into something bigger than a one-time gift. And it starts with ONE powerful question: Do you have the habit of asking?Throughout my talk, you'll hear personal stories, industry-shifting data, and tactical strategies to help you build (or scale) a thriving monthly giving program. You'll walk away with ideas you can implement today (not next year!), to transform how you position recurring support, activate your donors, and build a future where sustainable giving becomes the norm.Resources & LinksWant to see more of the 2025 Monthly Giving Summit?

One of the biggest mistakes arts organizations make is over relying on major donors. In this penultimate episode of the season, Aubrey Bergauer talks with Dana Snyder—author of The Monthly Giving Mastermind—about why major gifts alone won't save your organization's financial future. Together, they explore how a strong monthly giving program isn't just smart strategy; it's sustainable, reliable, and rooted in digital marketing best practices.Learn how moving just 2% more charitable donations to monthly giving could unlock $9 billion in recurring revenue. Discover why recurring donors give 42% more per year, and how to build a donor pipeline that leads to more major gifts—not fewer. If you're tired of chasing one-time checks and ready to grow real stability, this episode is a must-listen.What You'll Learn:Why over-relying on major donors puts your organization at riskThe $9 billion opportunity in recurring givingHow to launch and grow a thriving monthly giving programWhy digital marketing skills are key to donor retentionHow to move monthly donors into major givingThe Offstage Mic is made possible by Artelize: their Audience Retention Dashboard is the one-stop place to access your audience data across every important metric.

From the very first ATHF intro, to the art direction on the latest season-- Todd Redner was there. Like the wind.... or God. The all knowing, all drawing Todd Redner graces the podcast to bestow upon us several ATHF tales that I had never once heard before. And that's saying something because I've heard lots of things. Todd's telling us about the many decisions that went into Aqua Teen's newest season (and the misguided hate mail it spawned), how characters like the Love Mummy and Wongburger were designed, and how 12 Oz Mouse got Radical Axis spammed with art of questionable quality. Other topics discussed include Jon Bon Jovi flying around an auditorium, catching gigantic fish, David Cross putting his hairy chest in Todd's face, The Office, and Todd being invited back to his college job to sign autographs.   • Todd on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toddredart/ • Todd's Website: https://toddredner.com/   • Meat Kingdom with Todd Redner and Dana Snyder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmLU5GyNF_o • Watch Yenor FREE: https://www.adultswim.com/videos/specials/yenor-pilot • Watch Stomp!

I'd love to hear from you! Send me a text message here and let me know what you thought about the episode. :)Three of the most famous movements in history were built on marketing, storytelling, subcultures, and creating influence. Today, we're going to explore how leaning into subcultures (rather than mass marketing), can be REALLY powerful and create sustainable impact for your nonprofit. We'll start by unraveling lessons from the Civil Rights Movement and Women's Suffrage. These movements thrived by uniting deeply connected communities. Your nonprofit can adopt similar strategies, focusing on smaller groups that resonate with your cause to create a lasting impact.Storytelling plays a pivotal role in any movement-building strategy, and we'll explore its profound impact by examining the #MeToo movement. When you're building your monthly giving program, what stories can you share to really connect with your audience?Connecting with a specific subculture of survivors, #MeToo grew exponentially by sharing personal narratives. Hear how your nonprofit can harness this powerful approach for monthly giving programs, especially when you target subcultures that align with your mission.As we approach the giving season, there's no better time than now to nurture those relationships.P.S.

The Aqua Teens are BACK in the third and final chapter of the Carl Trilogy! Carl has had enough of the revolving door of neighbors, and heroically saves the Aqua Teens from Markula... only for them to quickly abandon him. In this episode ATHF editor John Brestan gives us some intel on the IRL Tree Wizard, art director Bob Pettitt clues us in on the creation of his mall-informed art assets, and we're getting to the bottom of the ATHF's chair color. Of course being the last episode of this trilogy, we're also reflecting on the three episodes as a whole.... hardcore. Other topics discussed include Super Smash Bros.

Today's interview is with Dana Snyder, founder and CEO of Positive Equation, where she helps charities grow their communities and monthly giving programs. This interview will be helpful for anyone that works at a charity—which some of our members do. But, more than that, this interview will provide all of us with insight – and empathy – for how hard our charities work to fundraise in support of the missions we all care about—and, therefore, how we can better support them in that endeavor. Most crucially, I hope Dana's insight will help us all think less transactionally, and more relationally, about how we support our favorite charities. I also want to give a huge shoutout to our partners at Lifeway Kefir. Lifeway was one of our first sponsors, and their CEO, Julie Smolyansky has become a friend and has been on the pod before too. Lifeway Kefir is purpose-driven brand and a champion for many social causes, supporting initiatives that promote maternal health, girls education and empowerment, the environment, mental health and well-being, and more—all things we care deeply about here at Charity Miles. Speaking of mental health, did you know that what you eat can have a profound effect on your mind? It turns out that the gut and brain are connected in ways we're just beginning to understand. Lifeway Kefir, with its rich probiotics, supports your gut biome, which plays a crucial role in regulating mood, stress, and overall mental health. It's a simple, delicious way to nourish your body and your mind.

On today's episode Tosha brings on guest Dana Snyder. Dana is the host of Missions to Movements and she is also the creator of the monthly Giving Mastermind. Dana and Tosha's conversation today will focus on digital marketing and how this tool can be leveraged, especially in nonprofit organizations, to assist in fundraising. Marketing is a fun game in the business world. The misconception is that marketing is the 'art class' to business. All the pretty graphics and eye catching fonts combined with the data gathered from the rest of the team makes for the perfect marketing piece. This couldn't be further from the reality of what marketing truly is.This misconception even stretches into nonprofits. Tosha starts the conversation by asking Dana her thoughts on another misconstrued opinion on marketing. Many 501c(3)s treat social media as a passive necessity. 'Sure, it's there and we should probably use it, but just because everyone else does.' - Some nonprofit (probably). Is there intentionality behind the use of social media and digital marketing within nonprofits? Let's find out. Dana believes it truly does depend on the circumstance. It seems like COVID is talked about in nearly every episode, yet this was such a significant event that impacted the way we do business today. In Dana's opinion, COVID forced many businesses to lean into the digital marketing age and rely on it more than ever. That's easy to see, when a group of people were confined to the inside, and left with the internet to communicate. This is one side of the coin. The other side is the intentionality of business planning with a marketing budget in mind. Dana has seen a lot of success when individuals with for-profit experience come to the nonprofit space. They tend to understand the importance of marketing and how this creates a brand. We mentioned that the aesthetics are not all the marketing is, however it is a huge piece of it. Dana shares that when businesses have invested into marketing through means of establishing a budget, they can allocate these funds to their websites, designs, logos, and overall brand.When a business invests into marketing, they are investing in the quality of their brand. And we know this is impactful, because this is ultimately the brand's reputation. When consumers, investors, donors, or whomever the business is trying to attract has a quality experience associated with the brand, cohesiveness is created setting the stage for growth. Tosha raises some great points when it comes to taking a look at a nonprofit's 'self-view'. With plenty of experience in the nonprofit space, Tosha wonders if nonprofits aren't taking a hard look at their 'digital storefront', is the business being represented to its full capacity or being authentically portrayed to the outside world? If providing the best service there is, yet most are unaware of this service, then are their missing pieces?She is also launching a virtual event; the Monthly Giving Summit on September 5th & 6th. This will focus on building subscriptions for good. The event will host panel discussions, corporate partnership presentations, 1-to-1 networking with other nonprofits, and even small breakout sessions. The goal is to remove any smoke and mirrors to allow organizations to have those real conversations with each other about where they are in the business. Please be sure to engage with the interview. Whether you enjoy listening to it, reading about it, or watching us on YouTube, make sure you review, share, and engage with A Modern Nonprofit Podcast. You can find Tosha and the Charity CFO team on Youtube or our website, thecharitycfo.com!

This week on Mission Forward, Carrie Fox sits down with Dana Snyder, a digital strategist for nonprofits and the CEO and founder of Positive Equation. Snyder, who has supported organizations like Movember, Dress for Success, and American Idol, shares her insights on how nonprofits can effectively reach new audiences in the ever-evolving digital landscape.Consider, for example, the importance of strategic investment in social media. How are organizations to determine which channels to focus their resources on based on their values and target audience? Snyder emphasizes the significance of data-driven decision-making, recommending tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with an organization's website and social media channels. But more importantly, she highlights how most individuals are tilted toward good, and that your audience might just be comfortable in large numbers on platforms you personally find misaligned with your own values. Throughout the episode, Snyder stresses the importance of being genuinely social on social media platforms, creating platform-specific content, and fostering meaningful connections with followers. She suggests that organizations consider hiring virtual assistants to manage their social media presence if it aligns with their budgets and priorities.The conversation also touches on the role of artificial intelligence in content creation for nonprofits. Snyder offers practical advice on how to train AI tools to generate relevant and engaging content while staying true to an organization's mission and values.For nonprofits looking to make the most of their social media efforts, this episode of Mission Forward offers valuable insights and actionable tips from a seasoned digital strategist.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, often abbreviated as ATHF, emerged as a groundbreaking animated television series that carved its niche in the surreal and absurd. Created by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, the show debuted on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block in 2000, becoming a cult favorite for its unique brand of humor, unconventional characters, and offbeat storytelling.Set in the fictional city of New Jersey, the series revolves around three anthropomorphic fast-food items: Master Shake, a selfish and erratic milkshake; Frylock, an intelligent and rational box of fries; and Meatwad, a lovable but naive ball of meat. Together, they form the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, often embarking on bizarre adventures that defy the norms of traditional storytelling.One of the distinctive features of ATHF is its episodic structure, where each 11-minute segment presents a standalone story, often absurd and chaotic. The series thrives on randomness, incorporating elements of science fiction, fantasy, and surrealism. The narrative weaves through a tapestry of strange occurrences, with the Aqua Teens encountering eccentric characters like the Mooninites, the Plutonians, and the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future.Master Shake, voiced by Dana Snyder, embodies the epitome of self-centeredness and delusional grandeur. His erratic behavior often serves as a catalyst for the team's misadventures. Frylock, voiced by Carey Means, provides a voice of reason, possessing superhuman abilities like levitation and eye lasers. Meatwad, voiced by series co-creator Dave Willis, is the innocent and childlike member, often acting as the heart of the group.One of the defining aspects of Aqua Teen Hunger Force is its irreverent humor, which ranges from absurdity and wordplay to satirical commentary. The show fearlessly parodies pop culture, societal norms, and the conventions of traditional animated storytelling. It often blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, leaving viewers in a perpetual state of comedic disorientation.The Aqua Teen Hunger Force not only engages with its audience through humor but also employs a unique visual style. The animation is intentionally simplistic, enhancing the overall absurdity of the series. The show's opening sequence, featuring the Aqua Teens driving through the streets of New Jersey, has become iconic, accompanied by the catchy and surreal theme song.Throughout its run, ATHF maintained a loyal fan base drawn to its unpredictability and subversive comedic style. The series became a staple of Adult Swim's programming, contributing to the network's reputation for unconventional and boundary-pushing content. Aqua Teen Hunger Force concluded its run in 2015 after 11 seasons, leaving behind a legacy as a pioneering force in the world of animated comedy.In retrospect, Aqua Teen Hunger Force stands as a testament to the creativity and innovation that can flourish in the realm of adult animation. Its legacy is not just in its longevity but in the cultural impact it had on a generation of viewers who embraced the unconventional and celebrated the absurdity that unfolded within the walls of the Aqua Teens' humble abode in New Jersey.www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and presented to you by The Barn Media Group.

Tonight, you... will learn all about Handbanana in this week's podcast! Or whenever you get around to listening to this, it doesn't really have to tonight I guess... Anyways, when you decide to listen to this (it's up to you!), you'll be stoked to know that we're joined by ATHF co-creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis, getting their takes on this iconic episode. While Handbanana is (rightfully so) a controversial episode, that doesn't stop it from being many people's favorite, including Master Shake voice actor Dana Snyder's! With an interesting mix of nihilistic horror and shock comedy, we get some great lines from Carl, Frylock voice actor Carey Means gets to show more of his range, and we actually get a competent villain for once. Other topics discussed include Scary Movie 4's insanely realistic Saw set, some hints towards the upcoming season of ATHF, and Aqua Teen's immortal feud with M*A*S*H.    References: • Season 12 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-UDzdabqaU ♫ Rod Stewart - Have You Ever Seen The Rain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oX2FSv4Rys ♫ Ludacris - Money Maker (ft Pharrell): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Op2YQ7yyU • Swimwiki Adult Swim archive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OJMPG5R5RIjGE_OFPzESb7kl-LGHbVpG • SNL Wacky Glue Sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzXhFd6kjKs • 2006 Forum Thread on Handbanana: https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/c-c-aqua-teen-hunger-force-handbanana-10-27.4226761/   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon Affiliate Links - Support The Podcast At No Extra Cost! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Timestamps: [00:00:00] Disclaimer [00:02:24] Intro [00:07:47] October 29th, 2006 Pop Culture [00:22:10] Matt and Dave Interview [00:50:18] Handbanana Deep Dive   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Discord: https://discord.gg/NpjSXPECw6 Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: DancingIsForbiddenPod@gmail.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Welcome back to the Independent Filmmaker's Guide.In today's episode we dive right into one of the later challenges along the filmmaking journey - getting your film in front of your potential audience. How to actually break through with ratings and reviews in key places.The landscape is always changing and tomorrow it may be different. In the meantime, these particular algorithms on streaming platforms hold a lot of sway as to what movies actually get "shelf space" in their store.With this in mind, we here at IFG share the great news that our indie horror film HERD (Steven Pierce, James Allerdyce, Matt Mundy) is now released in the US and in an increasing number of other territories around the world.But in order to take advantage of all of this potential exposure we ask our listeners directly for their support. As we often do with podcasts but rarely seem to do in film, we talk about the importance of not just watching indie films but rating and reviewing them as well.In that, we also tackle the pivotal role of indie filmmakers in shaping a vibrant film industry, especially in light of recent strikes against the AMPTP. More so, we extend an invitation to you - yes, you, our treasured listeners - to join this journey. By watching, rating, and reviewing HERD, you're not simply showing support; you're helping independent films prove their worth in a sea of studio-backed blockbusters. And in this digital era, your ratings and reviews directly impact a film's positioning and success. And a special shoutout to the wonderful people of Poplar Bluff, Missouri - as well as Doniphan and Van Buren...your support and graciousness to our cast and crew are at the center of what made shooting this film possible.Links mentioned in the show:to follow the herd, and see more information about the movie, visit HERD.filmWatch/Stream on AppleTV or PrimeUK DVD reviewUK DVD purchaseRate/Review on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDbIFG is created by Framework Productions, produced and hosted by Steven Pierce, James Allerdyce, and Matt Mundy.
