"Having Sophie perform a development audit gave us valuable information regarding what we are doing right at CVIM and also identified areas where we can improve. Sophie spent time not only identifying areas of need, but also showing us ways to improve in those areas. The board of directors found her presentation to be thoughtful, thorough, and easy to understand. We were able to identify needed action items at the end of the process and we have a clear plan for moving forward. "

"Most volunteers for not-for-profits are not fund raising experts. When the State College Community Land Trust needed counsel for the GreenBuild project, Sophie Penny deftly guided us. She is extremely knowledgeable in the art and science of not-for-profit fund raising."
