About Danielle

Danielle Lewis leads Springboard Partners, an organization that uses the power of communication to do more good. Springboard helps nonprofits and foundations make more impact on issues that matter – from the environment and health care to ending violence against girls and women. Danielle helps clients understand themselves and their challenges, find creative solutions, get on the same page, communicate powerfully, and, ultimately, make more good happen. Danielle created Move to End Violence’s Research Into Action Guide and previously served as faculty in the program, focused on communication planning and messaging.
