“Donors from Kentucky and beyond really responded to this day,” said Danielle Clore, executive director of KNN Inc., which coordinated the event. “We didn’t know exactly what to expect, but we were overwhelmed with the generosity donors showed.

Step by Step, a Lexington-based ministry for young, single mothers, came in fourth place in the smaller nonprofit category. “KY Gives Day was the easiest, least expensive fundraiser I’ve ever done, and I’ve been involved in Step By Step fundraising for over fifteen years!” said Sheila Sekela, director. “The day and evening of the event I was basically at my computer in my pajamas. We are such a small nonprofit, we never dreamed we’d win prize money but were so proud and happy that we did.” Step by Step raised $6463, including prize money and golden ticket money. DeAnn Stephens of WKYT, Lexington, interviews Danielle Clore, executive Angie Goodwin, executive director of the Thumbs Up for Lane Goodwin Childhood Cancer director of KNN, on KY Gives Day Foundation of Beech Grove, the winner in the smaller nonprofit category, was pleasantly surprised at the support she received from donors. “I never imagined we’d come in first place,” Goodwin said. “A very large donation came in at the last second from a new donor, which won us the prize money.

7 News You Can Use Don’t Overlook Insurance For Cyber Losses A recent survey showing a snapshot of risk awareness among US nonprofits shows that organizations are not protecting themselves against a multitude of risks, including cyber risk. The computer age has brought a dangerous new exposure to an organization that needs to be assessed. Ralph Coldiron of Energy Insurance Agency shares why nonprofits are more vulnerable to cyber risk and how we can protect ourselves.

Who is at risk for a data breach?

Any nonprofit organization that handles confidential information, has a computer network or handles personal identifiable information is at risk. Many organizations don’t have the financial capacity to have the Ralph Coldiron with most up-to-date software and firewalls, so they’re even more likely to have their data breached which poses Energy Insurance a threat both to your finances, your members, and to the organization’s reputation. Agency. Emailus@ kynonprofits.org to discuss your Why would organizations need cyber-liability insurance? insurance needs. It’s no longer a matter of whether you’ll be breached, it’s a matter of when – and many organizations are not aware that their standard insurance coverages typically don’t provide any cyber-liability coverage. They won’t cover damage to or loss of intangible assets, so there goes your donor list or any other valuable data you’ve collected, which can throw a wrench into your organization’s operations. Additionally, standard insurance coverages often don’t cover sensitive information getting into the wrong hands, in which case the entity that lost the data is liable for any damages sustained by the victim. If your nonprofit doesn’t have the reserves to cover such a suit, you may want coverage to protect against lawsuits brought by third parties. A cyber-liability insurance policy accounts for the unexpected and protects the nonprofit’s assets.

How do you choose the right coverage?

Cyber-liability insurance is often industry specific and varies based on the organization’s type of risk and level of exposure. If you collect any sort of sensitive information, it’s absolutely worth it. Many cyber-liability products offer a menu of insuring agreements, so you can choose the coverage that works for you. Working with an experienced insurance agency and agent can get you the best coverage for your organization.
