It is impossible to attend a Cygnus seminar or training session and leave without feeling inspired, motivated and capable.
Cygnus offers a variety of seminars, on-site programs and training options, each based on the key concepts of Donor-Centered™ Fundraising. Our flagship presentation is a full-day seminar outlining the research that supports a Donor-Centered™ approach as well as practical strategies for implementation. In addition, we offer topic-specific on-site training sessions and seminars geared to offer a solution-based response to issues specific to your fundraising operation.
NEW SEMINAR! - Communication is the Ask
Cygnus provides a range of ways for you to learn how to enhance your effectiveness as a fundraiser and your organization’s success by learning about Donor-Centered™ Fundraising:
Customized Training
Cygnus offers the opportunity to bring a Cygnus seminar to your organization with content geared specifically to your operations and addressing the issues that are most important to you, matched to your fundraising reality. This is a great way to engage your full staff and volunteer cohort, while achieving the type of targeted results that you can implement as soon as you get back to the office.

Our Chief Presenter – Penelope Burk
Penelope Burk, President of Cygnus Applied Research, and the innovator behind Donor-Centered™ Fundraising, heads our seminar and workshop team. Widely regarded as the industry’s foremost authority on fundraising research, training and strategic planning based on Donor-Centered™ principles, Penelope is a highly sought after speaker with decades of education and training experience. Penelope also takes pride in presenting her findings in engaging and interesting ways; she is the author of two best-selling books and more than fifty articles, plays and seminars.
More important than the six pages of notes I took, were the two page of “to do ideas” I plan to implement when I get back to the office. I think your research is so valuable and I believe it would be right at home in the Ruth Lilly Philanthropic Archives at the I.U. Center on Philanthropy in Indianapolis.
