How about a boss, CEO, or board member who thinks that just because they don\u2019t like something (like monthly giving, legacy marketing, direct mail, full-page reply devices), donors won\u2019t like it either? [Pro tip: you\u2019re not your target audience.]<\/p>\n<p>Or when you\u2019ve spent hours crafting a donor-centered appeal only to find your CEO \u201cfixed it\u201d by taking the donor out of the story and replacing all the immersive storytelling with a litany of your organization\u2019s accomplishments. Ouch!<\/p>\n<p>Hungry? Great! We\u2019ve got a barren wasteland of sad office snacks. A wilted graveyard of half-eaten Jason\u2019s Deli sandwiches. A stale day-old box of donuts. Carrots and broccoli crowns with a side of ranch dressing more congealed than creamy.<\/p>\n<p>I could go on all day. I wrote <a href=\"\/blog\/the-fundraisers-bill-of-rights\/\">a fundraiser\u2019s bill of rights<\/a>. But\u2014on top of having a right to operational office furniture and leaders who understand and respect how fundraising works\u2014you have to take care of #1. I\u2019m talking about you here!<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t take good care of yourself, who will? This world needs your talents, and fundraising stress shouldn\u2019t take that away. Nonprofit burnout hurts you and your cause.<\/p>\n<h2>Step one: Nurture yourself<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure how burned out you are, take this <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1ad_QRZzBYPmAWM0eeHfDPH1_awnlE4BQ\/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quick assessment<\/a>. Then grab a copy of my friend Beth Kanter\u2019s book, <a href=\"https:\/\/happyhealthynonprofit.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Happy Healthy Nonprofit<\/em>, and check out the free apps<\/a> to help you build self-care behaviors to reduce your overwhelm.<\/p>\n<p>Need <a href=\"\/blog\/7-self-care-tips-for-nonprofit-professionals\/\">self-care ideas<\/a> that don\u2019t cost a dime? Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/happyhealthynonprofit.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/self-care-checklist.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beth\u2019s self-care checklist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On a personal note, I found myself in a full-blown elder care crisis two years ago with my mom and stepdad yo-yo-ing through emergency rooms, skilled nursing, and rehab like a pinball machine. My sister and I had to sell their home and move them into assisted living with a combative stepbrother who stole everything of value from their home and then drained their bank account. After seeing me living on fumes, a friend suggested: \u201cEvery time you\u2019re about to do something for your mom, stop and do something for yourself instead.\u201d Whether I took a walk, tended to my houseplants, or put my feet up on the couch and slathered my face with moisturizer, each action felt like a healthy and restorative investment in myself that dramatically boosted my sense of well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Please do everything that brings you joy\u2014spending time with friends, traveling, crafting, stand-up comedy, <a href=\"https:\/\/smartyhadaparty.com\/blogs\/home\/hilarious-april-fools-day-jokes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April Fool\u2019s Jokes<\/a> (my personal favorite)\u2014whatever fills your heart.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, we never climb the fundraising mountain, get to the top, and shout down to everyone below, \u201cHey everybody! I\u2019m here! I made it!\u201d You\u2019ll wake up tomorrow with another mountain to climb and, yes, more money to raise (I guarantee it).<\/p>\n<h2>Step two: Manage your workload<\/h2>\n<p>Having a <a href=\"\/blog\/the-essential-guide-to-writing-a-fundraising-plan\/\">fundraising plan<\/a> is critical to measuring your workload.<\/p>\n<p>You need clear, measurable, realistic fundraising goals rooted in fact, not fiction, based on donor giving history and capacity\u2014not a pie-in-the-sky number your CEO gave you.<\/p>\n<p>Need help drafting that plan? I got your back! <a href=\"\/blog\/building-a-nonprofit-strategic-plan\/\">Download this 3-month road map<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fundraising without a plan is like driving a car blindfolded\u2014it only adds to <b>fundraising stress<\/b>. If you\u2019re soliciting major gifts for your nonprofit, you need a portfolio of ask amounts for each donor set to a 12-month calendar.<\/p>\n<h2>Step three: Build a supportive work environment<\/h2>\n<p>If your nonprofit workplace lacks a healthy culture of generosity, try modeling the change you wish to see.<\/p>\n<p>Toxic environments thrive on silence and isolation. Nothing changes until enough people model a better way\u2014whether that\u2019s setting boundaries, pushing back on unfair expectations, or supporting each other.<\/p>\n<p>Help others feel empowered to speak up\u2014in meetings or through group efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Encourage small wins, like getting your leadership to acknowledge burnout and prioritize workplace well-being, or creating a team norm of respecting time off. If leadership isn\u2019t responsive, look for board members, funders, or external allies who care about staff well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Set clear expectations for roles and responsibilities to prevent overwork and confusion. Implement consistent feedback loops\u2014not just annual performance reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Encourage cross-team collaboration to reduce silos and increase team cohesion. Welcome new hires with an onboarding process that sets a positive tone. Foster a culture of learning by offering professional development opportunities (trainings, conferences, mentorships).<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly\u2014celebrate what you want more of! What gets rewarded gets done.<\/p>\n<h3>You matter too<\/h3>\n<p>Nonprofit burnout isn\u2019t just part of the job\u2014it\u2019s a sign something needs to change. You can\u2019t give your best if you\u2019re running on empty. Your mission matters, but so do you.<\/p>\n<p>Take care of yourself. Set boundaries. Advocate for a healthier workplace. And don\u2019t wait for someone else to make things better\u2014start with the things you can control.<\/p>\n<p><i>What\u2019s one thing you\u2019ll do this week to combat nonprofit burnout and take care of yourself?
