About Your Topic Expert:

Kelly is specifically qualified to teach this webinar recording because:

1. She grew an individual giving program for a niche, foreign policy advocacy organization from $300,000 in annual revenue to over $1 million in annual revenue in just four years, using this system of analysis to inform her strategy over those four years.
2. She has helped numerous clients, stumped at their lack of fundraising growth, assess their donor data at this deep level to help them completely turn around their programs.
3. She’s known in the industry for simplifying fundraising to prevent nonprofit leaders from burning out.
    

Kelly McLaughlin has been fundraising since she was five years old, supporting her favorite nonprofits one bake sale at a time. In 2009, she got her first professional fundraising job, and has since built individual giving programs for nonprofits that achieve 25-30% growth year after year. 

Since 2020, Kelly has consulted with nonprofit organizations and has developed a framework for helping nonprofits build individual giving programs that blow donor retention numbers out of the water (achieving 60-80% donor retention for her clients) while allowing fundraising efforts to be more supportive of and less separate from programmatic work. She’s an outside-the-box thinker and engaging speaker who can weave stories from spreadsheets, helping you better understand your donor data to empower you with information you never thought possible from a bunch of numbers.
