Schedule and Sessions

Burnout in fundraising is no longer a personal issue—it is a leadership and sustainability challenge. This interactive session invites nonprofit executives and senior leaders to rethink the “culture of sacrifice” that often defines fundraising work. Grounded in research, sector data, and lived leadership experience, the session explores why burnout occurs, who it affects most, and how leadership practices can either mitigate or intensify risk. Participants will engage in honest dialogue, reflect on real-world scenarios, and leave with practical strategies to foster healthier, more ethical, and more sustainable fundraising cultures.
