Keynote Speaker - Penelope Burk

Planned Giving the Donor-Centered Way
Donor-Centered Fundraising is the breakthrough concept in fundraising and communication that reduces donor attrition while setting a new standard for fundraising success. The donor-centered philosophy emerged from 8 years of research and testing on why donors stop giving or give less than they could and explores the kinds of acknowledgement and communication that drives future bequests and planned gifts.

Additionally, Ms. Burk will share research completed in January of 2009 of more than 20,000 Americans. She learned how donors intend to give this year, and what changes they expect from organizations they support because of the economy, combining up-to-the minute research data with thought-provoking advice from donors.
