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. If this resonates with you, join us for Fundraiser Burnout: Why It Happens & How to Cope.
In this session, we’ll explore the unique type of burnout specific to fundraisers, what causes burnout and tangible strategies we can use to combat it. Join us as we explore tools rooted in mindfulness to help you stay well while doing the work you love.
