“When Jason Mida and Mida Associates call, I rarely, if ever, say no. The events he has asked me to emcee have all been for worthy causes and have been seamlessly run. It is a joy to work with people who embody their values through their work."

"I’ve worked with Mida Associates on a number of events at which I’ve served as emcee or host. Jason and his team make it easy. Not only are they top-notch professionals, dedicated to uplifting under-served communities, they are an absolute pleasure to work with. That comes from the top. Jason is one of the best leaders I’ve witnessed in action – passionate, creative, and mission-driven.”
Steve Schwab

The Elizabeth Dole Foundation
“Working with Jason and his team at Mida Associates since 2017 has significantly strengthened our mission and programming at the Elizabeth Dole Foundation. Jason and his team have worked tirelessly to help our Foundation broaden its reach and impact as we work to change the lives of military and veteran caregivers across the country. Jason's commitment to excellence shows in his daily work ethic, his work product, and through his genuine care and concern for the causes he takes on.”
Ted Kennedy, Jr.
Board Chair Emeritus
AAPD
"Jason Mida has been an instrumental partner in advancing the cause of equality, inclusion and justice for people with disabilities. As the former Board Chair of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), I was fortunate to work closely and collaboratively with Jason and the entire Mida team to develop and secure the critical financial, organizational, and political partnerships that have positioned AAPD to be among the leading national disability civil rights and public policy organizations. Jason has his finger on the country's political, business and cultural pulse - and combined with his work ethic, there is nothing that he can't accomplish!"
Kathy Martinez

Disability Rights Advocates
“At Disability Rights Advocates (DRA), we work to advance the rights, inclusion and equity of people with disabilities through high-impact litigation, education and advocacy. We worked with Jason and Mida Associates to organize our annual fundraising gala—and doing so greatly enhanced our event line-up and revenue. Jason’s outreach helped us cast a wider net, both within the disability advocacy community and the broader social justice community. This intersectional approach is essential to DRA’s success. Disability impacts people of all backgrounds and thus it is critical that our outreach efforts reach people from all backgrounds as well. Jason and his team helped make that happen.”

“As one of the nation’s oldest and boldest gun violence prevention organizations, Brady’s work is founded upon the dedication and vision of talented individuals like Jason Mida and the team at Mida Associates. Mida Associates has worked with Brady over numerous years to construct superlative events that engage our audiences and the general public, spotlighting the tragedy of gun violence and instilling the reality that we can beat this epidemic. Mida Associates has worked tirelessly with our team over the years to create one of a kind events that have brought recognition to our cause. Mida Associates handle our events with great integrity, passion and incredible attention to detail. I could not imagine being in better hands with more committed, visionary professionals. Brady is lucky to work with Jason Mida and Mida Associates.”
Senator Elizabeth Dole
Founder
The Elizabeth Dole Foundation
"When we hired Jason and his team at Mida Associates a few years ago, we hoped to expand our network of support for military caregivers across the country. Not only have we grown significantly since Jason joined us, but since day one it was clear that his work goes above and beyond expectations. Mida Associates not only delivers results, but Jason gives 110% of his own time, talent, and resources to ensuring that our military families are supported. I'm proud to have such a dedicated and talented partner in Jason working with our team."
Kathy Doan
Executive Director
Capitol Area Immigrants’ Rights Coalition
“Jason and his team at Mida Associates are an absolute pleasure to work with. Jason makes you feel like you are his number one priority, and his team is highly skilled, personable and very responsive. I also deeply appreciated Jason’s passion for furthering our mission to defend the rights of immigrants threatened with detention and deportation. Over a period of several years, Jason and his team helped CAIR Coalition to build an in-house development shop, which has left us well positioned for the future.”
Holly O’Donnell
CEO
Bazelon Center For Mental Health Law
“Kizmet brought the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law and Mida Associates together in 2020. Jason and his team reimagined (and rescued) our in person event celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into the virtual space. Our virtual event was a huge success -- we far surpassed the fundraising and attendance goals, we elevated the Center's profile with a star lineup, and most importantly, we celebrated the accomplishments and lives of people with disabilities. Jason and his team at Mida Associates are the best in the business because of their deep fundraising and event expertise and because they are passionate and committed to the missions of the organizations they work with. It's rare, and wonderful, to find consultants that become your true partners. We are thrilled and grateful that Jason and Mida Associates are working alongside the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law to protect and advance the rights of people with mental disabilities.”

LGBTQ Victory Fund
“LGBTQ Victory is dedicated to electing LGBTQ candidates at every level of public office, and building a pipeline of LGBTQ appointed leaders. Jason once worked for Victory, and now volunteers his time and talents helping us build brand awareness and connect to influencers.
Jason Mida is smart, experienced and capable—but that can be said of others. What distinguishes him is passion. Passion for people, for causes and for any work he takes on. He doesn’t do a job, he embraces the mission. No one works harder for his clients.”
