Penelope Burk is one of the foremost authorities on fundraising and among the best-known educators in her field. She has an uncanny ability to articulate what donors want and backs that up with solid and compelling research. Penelope's company, Cygnus Applied Research, is known for their leading-edge research with donors and their evidence-based solutions for raising money in the twenty-first century. Penelope first came to the attention of senior fundraisers with her revolutionary, best-selling book, Donor-Centered Fundraising, which remains the only statistically-based philosophy ever published on the effect of meaningful communication on donor retention and gift value. Penelope has just released her third book, Donor-Centered Leadership, on how to build and sustain a high performance fundraising team.
