Program Description: Do you find yourself feeling exhausted, unmotivated or disillusioned while tackling your day to day work? Do your fundraising goals feel unobtainable as you try unsuccessfully to get out from under a mountain of work? According to a recent report from the Center for Effective Philanthropy, 68% of nonprofit leaders are concerned or somewhat concerned about burnout - and this statistic is on the rise.
