The 2015 AFP/Skystone Partners Prize for Research went to Penelope Cagney, CFRE and Bernard Ross for their thought-provoking volume on international philanthropy, Global Fundraising: How the World is Changing the Rules of Philanthropy, published by Wiley. It would be wonderful to see the research publication of another CFRE honored with this prestigious prize in 2016!
