About: Dan Baron Consulting
Tell your story.
Your organization has a great story to tell about a pivotal issue. That can mean building an innovative youth program, passing a law that fights housing discrimination, working to prevent violence, and much more.
Over the years, I have told the story of nonprofits, universities, public agencies, and others as a writer, strategist, communications consultant, grant writer, and journalist.
It’s all about understanding the mission and unique culture of your organization – and the impact you want to make.
The world of communications is changing rapidly. My work is about making sure your story reaches all the people you want to move, including donors, the general public, policymakers, and colleagues. These days, that often means adapting your story in multiple ways, from a blog or media kit to social media, a letter to donors, or at a workshop on storytelling.
There are so many ways to tell your story.
I MAKE THAT HAPPEN AS A WRITER AND COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT, STRATEGIST, AND GRANT WRITER. I HAVE ALSO WORKED AS A JOURNALIST AND COLUMNIST.
One constant of my career has been something there is no substitute for - sharing the real voices and concerns of people who are working to make a difference.

Making an Impact
Dan helped our organization by researching funding prospects, writing grant proposals, editing stories and, most of all, researching and writing a detailed case statement about our work. The result was a document that coherently, and persuasively, tells our story—and how our work is making an impact in communities.
