The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit by Beth Kanter

The Happy, Healthy Nonprofit by Beth Kanter

North County Philanthropy Council April 5, 2019

Nonprofit professionals work hard every day with limited resources which can result in burnout if they do not embrace self-care and the organization does not nurture a culture of well-being in the nonprofit workplace.

  • Understand the basics of burnout symptoms and self-care practices that many nonprofit professionals are embracing to ensure their resilience in the face of significant challenges
  • Get some practical tips for changing a toxic workplace culture into happy, healthy one and simple and low-cost ways to introduce well-being programs into your workplace

[FREE WEBINAR] Why Do Donors Leave? (with Leichtag Foundation’s Sharyn Goodson & Jessica Kort)

North County Philanthropy Council October 17, 2018

Where does your organization focus most of its fundraising energy? Chances are, the answer is getting more donors. But what about keeping your current donors?

Research shows that nearly three out of every four new donors leave an organization and never come back.

This has led many to focus less on acquiring new supporters and more on nurturing the relationships that they already have.

Join us for this interactive webinar with Leichtag Foundation’s Vice President of Philanthropy Sharyn Goodson, and Senior Manager of Philanthropy & Communications Jessica Kort.

We will explore:

  • Why organizations lose donors and money
  • How keeping donors increases fundraising success
  • Opportunities to build donor relationships
  • Elements of a successful donor retention plan
