Diane Covert, CFRE
Senior Donor Manager
Diane Covert brings more than 20 years of fundraising experience, primarily for programs helping children in Texas, to her work as a donor advisor at Lutheran World Relief. Having joined LWR in 2024, she feels blessed to use her skills to uplift the lives of her neighbors all around the globe.
Diane is especially inspired by LWR’s empowering and holistic approach to livelihoods, because these programs equip people and communities with the skills they need to sustain themselves. She notes, “We’re not just providing food; we’re cultivating lasting change.”
She hopes that in working with her, donors will feel a true sense of ownership in the programs they support and know they are making a meaningful and enduring difference in the world.
Diane lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband and her kitty named Salem, and she enjoys having her adult children nearby. Her hobbies include gardening, scuba diving and group Bible study.
