Dayna Deaner, Founder & Principal Causalyst

I founded Causalyst Group to catalyze growth, strengthen leadership, and help for-impact organizations build lasting impact.

 

With more than a decade of experience in advancement, fundraising, strategic partnerships, and nonprofit leadership, I’ve partnered with universities, cultural institutions, and community organizations across Michigan and beyond. The work has generated multi-million-dollar philanthropic support, built enduring donor relationships, and guided organizations through critical leadership transitions.

 

A unique mix of strategic insight, hands-on fundraising expertise, and interim executive leadership informs every engagement. Whether designing a fundraising strategy, leading a capital campaign, managing complex programs, or stepping in as interim executive director, the focus remains the same: fueling mission-driven work with clarity, integrity, and measurable impact.

 

Nonprofits are more than “non-profits.” They are for-impact organizations that deserve catalytic partners who help them grow, lead, and thrive.
