A webinar about non-profit donor data you CANNOT miss (May 28; free)

And a date change for "How to talk about gaps in your resume"

May 15, 2025

First, the quick bit: the Liberatory Livelihood Association’s program, “How to talk about gaps in your resume: Approaching resumes and interviews without compromising your values” has been rescheduled to Tuesday, June 17, 3 pm. EDT U.S./New York time. Details here.

Now, onto the really good stuff! If you work in fundraising for or with a U.S. non-profit organization, you MUST attend this May 28 webinar, “Behind the curtain: Simple strategies to protect donor and staff privacy.”

This webinar is courtesy of my client Staci Lowell, owner of Giving Insight (here), where they provide excellent donor database services for non-profits. Staci’s work is incredible and she’s been doing it for over 10 years.

Since Staci is the most humble person I know, she has buried the good stuff way down in this message. When you click on this link, scroll down to the gray-green box (see image below) to get the details and register.

I tell everybody I know that Giving Insight should be your go-to resource for help with your donor database. I’d trust them with my donor data if that was something I was still in charge of, and if you know how serious I am about using donor data responsibly, you’ll know that’s something I don’t say lightly.

As always, please keep recommending me to friends and colleagues who might need a business coach. I have an equity pricing structure that means I can help most folks who need a business coach, and I have extensive experience, especially coaching leaders in social justice.

I try to be transparent about my identity as a white, cis-het, middle-class woman in the U.S., because I think it’s important for my potential clients to know. I do often get to work with people who have many identities that differ significantly from mine, and together, we are building a world where our lives and work are much better because of it.

Have a meaningful day and let’s do this together,

Kay Coughlin, CEO and Business Coach, Facilitator on Fire
