About the Session:
Nonprofit leaders don’t burn out because they care too little, they burn out because they care deeply without sustainable support. When mission demands outpace people, systems, and capacity, compassion fatigue quietly takes hold.
This session explores the hidden cost of emotional labor in fundraising through the lens of the capacity gap. Grounded in Philanthrope Reimagined’s approach to sustainable leadership, participants will gain language to name what they’re experiencing, understand why burnout is often systemic (not personal), and leave with practical tools to protect their energy without losing purpose.
After the hour-long session, we invite you to stay for a 30-minute decompression time at the shelter, where you can unwind, reconnect with joy, and spend time with the puppies.
