Lou Cove is the author of Man of the Year, a memoir about the year when he served as “campaign manager” for Playgirl Magazine’s Mr. November 1978. It worked, Mr. November won, and Lou got to skip his bar mitzvah (he was 13 at the time). Lou was an editor and journalist for the first ten years of his career, but his Man of the Year experience got him hooked on campaigns: He has raised more than $70 million for nonprofit organizations and continues to advise national nonprofits of capacity building and sustainability. As a senior advisor at the Harold Grinspoon Foundation Lou has helped build a $25 million Alliance of national funders to support one of his favorite programs: PJ Library. His clients include CEOs and boards of trustees at numerous national non-profits, including the American Institute for Architects, Represent.Us, Double Edge Theatre and Girls Leadership. Lou is former Executive Director of Reboot, a network of leading young Jewish creatives devoted to “rebooting” modern Jewish culture: digital entrepreneurs at Google and YouTube; creators of TV shows and films like Lost, Orange is the New Black, Transparent, Anchorman and Star Trek; journalists from NYT, Wired, and WSJ, etc. Under his leadership, Reboot launched and attracted millions to projects like National Day of Unplugging,10Q and Sukkah City. Lou was also Vice President of the National Yiddish Book Center. Lou lives in Western Massachusetts. He hasn’t seen a new copy of Playgirl since 1980.
