Fundraising without Burnout: Radically Reimagining Philanthropy to Transform Your Impact

Fundraise for Your World-Changing Nonprofit without Burning Out.

Fundraising for your nonprofit can feel never-ending and stressful, causing many fundraisers to burn out and quit. You believe in the mission, and you do whatever it takes to reach your fundraising goals. However, somewhere along the way, you’ve inadvertently run over your boundaries and confused your priorities. You are overworked, overstressed, and starting to understand how Sisyphus must have felt pushing that boulder up the hill in vain.

In Fundraising without Burnout, Radha Friedman, a philanthropic advisor with decades of experience funding nonprofits around the world, offers a frank and witty critique of how the “best practices” we’ve been taught are actually sabotaging our fundraising efforts. By debunking the myths that keep inequitable practices in place, Radha provides solutions that help nonprofit leaders redefine their purpose, prevent burnout, and meet their fundraising goals while reclaiming their peace.

In this book, you’ll discover how to:

Create a culture where fundraisers feel valued and empowered
Identify and replace outdated and harmful fundraising practices that lead to stress and burnout
Heal from the years of unbalanced living
Attract aligned donors, and confidently refuse funding that comes with unacceptable strings attached
Prepare for the “great wealth transfer” to women and the expected, consequent changes to the nonprofit sector
