About Your Topic Expert:

Dannielle is specifically qualified to teach this webinar because:

  1. Has produced more than 20 videos specifically in the wake of COVID including videos for virtual annual meetings as well as virtual galas for nonprofits serving on the front lines.
  2. Currently works with nonprofits to move beyond an everything stew mentally that ultimately makes a video ineffective and into focused messages, with a clear call-to-action that moves hearts, minds, and checkbooks by creating 2-6 gala videos a month. 
  3. Helps nonprofits navigate the challenges of special-requirement populations including HIPAA-protected participants, the elderly, minors, those with mental health challenges, and more with creative storytelling that respects the subjects of the video. 

Dannielle Stewart supports & grows the mission of nonprofits and Corporate Social Responsibility programs through strategic, well-researched marketing communications and high-quality video productions. 

She works as a producer and a writer for nonprofit organizations and, in leading up to the 2020 virtual gala season, has produced videos that address the most urgent needs for nonprofits serving vulnerable populations on the front lines. After a special volunteer visit to the West Bank following the Arab Spring, she decided to pivot her communication expertise into helping nonprofits create solid and defendable messaging strategies that drive the work of fundraising, campaign awareness, create a connection between those needing services and those who can support them, issue awareness, elevating the message of equity and generally dedicated to the human stories that compel us all to action.
