It’s the perfect time to relax, get away, and kick back to enjoy some good books from Candid’s free nonprofit eBook collection. Are you worried that a nonprofit-related book will feel like a rain cloud over your summer vibes? The Little Book of… series by Eric Hanberg. Don’t have time to read a book cover to cover?

Limited Staffing and Volunteer Burnout Nonprofits often operate with small teams and depend heavily on volunteers to bring their events to life. While volunteers are invaluable, relying too much on them can lead to burnout, reduced productivity, and even event-day mishaps.
Taking a break from work gives your brain the chance to reset and recharge, and this is essential to avoiding burnout and staying productive all year long. Go ahead and book the trip if you can. Fundraising is a high-turnover field and burnout is a key reason. Now, you’re ready for your vacation to start!
In September 2020 I penned an article entitled Battling Burnout as a Grant Professional where I shared several resources to help overcome the struggle. More than avoiding burnout, I want to continue to love this career of ours, and sometimes that means saying no to things, even if I’d love to do it.
Be ready to paint the picture of where you’re going and then motivate folks to join you for the journey. A leader who can’t manage their time is distracted and disorganized, always working on things at the last minute. Leading people. You’re the leader and people will look to you for direction.
A recent National Council of Nonprofits survey paints a concerning picture: "stress" and "burnout" are driving talented staff out the door. Engage in activities that bring you peace and fulfillment, whether spending time in nature, volunteering for a different cause, or reading a good book.
Having a better knowledge of what fundraising events perform well, what events donors engage with, and what can be done to mitigate risk and burnout can lead to more successful (and sustainable!) Check out the Virtual Event Planner and The Big Book of Virtual and Hybrid Event Ideas to make planning your next virtual event a breeze!
