Fueling your Cause with the Catalyst it needs.

Meet Your Expert Advisor

Dayna Deaner, Founder &  Principal Causalyst

I founded Causalyst Group to be the catalyst for causes helping for impact organizations unlock growth, strengthen leadership, and build legacies that last.

 

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. My work has generated multi-million-dollar philanthropic support, built enduring donor relationships, and guided organizations through critical leadership transitions.

 

I bring a unique mix of strategic insight, hands-on fundraising expertise, and interim executive leadership to every engagement. Whether it’s designing a fundraising strategy, leading a capital campaign, managing complex programs, or stepping in as interim executive director, my goal is simple: to fuel your mission with clarity, integrity, and measurable impact.

 

At Causalyst Group, I believe nonprofits are more than “non-profits." They are for-impact organizations, and they deserve catalytic partners who will help them thrive.
