In a rapidly evolving world, fundraising cannot shield itself from change. But making the right choices when resources are so limited and competition is so fierce is the challenge that every Development Office faces. Luckily, today's donors are much more specific about what it will take to win their support and inspire them to give more generously. The job of Development Professionals, then, is to recognize which things are worth investing in and what skills and resources are needed to increase fundraising profit.

Join author, speaker and fundraising futurist, Penelope Burk, as she discusses the findings of her new research conducted with thousands of American donors and relates those findings to her breakthrough fundraising philosophy -- Donor-Centered Fundraising. Penelope will discuss what donors want from their philanthropic relationships in 2014, what that means for your bottom line, and how to apply a Donor-Centered Fundraising approach in an ever-evolving environment.
