@GEOfunders Yes @GEOfunders, because burnout is REAL!!!
Funders can help nonprofit leaders/staff by funding capacity building such as coaching (and not just for the ED), core infrastructure (financial & donor mgmt, cybersecurity, etc.) and strategic comms & planning. Keep it going....

[GEO @GEOfunders]

What are the tools we can take back to our communities and increase capacity? The final round of workshops will do a deep dive in preventing burnout, multiyear, flexible funding, power building, reparations and more. #GEO2024

“Learn how to state their best before the rest. Define people by their aspirations and contributions before their challenges.” @JoinBMe on #assetframing #geo2024

“The way that we’re talking about #enterprisecapital is that it’s #dreamcapital. It says to our grantees ‘take time to rest’ so that they can have the capacity to dream.” #geo2024

[GEO @GEOfunders]
