How Top Nonprofit Leaders Avoid Burnout

In the pursuit of raising money and “changing the world”, traditional philanthropy has caused harm in the communities and to individuals that nonprofits seek to serve.

In this webinar, Rachel will review key findings from a series of reports and offer ways to divest from traditional fundraising practices by adopting and activating an antiracist and systems-change lens. We will explore ways to use data and communication to transform donor education and engagement and, thus, advance the work of these organizations.
