About this collection: This Content Collection shares perspectives and tips for families seeking to learn more about the many benefits (some surprising!) of sabbaticals for both nonprofits and grantmakers.
For a small investment, a funder can have a big impact on a nonprofit by providing its leader with time away to rejuvenate body, mind, and spirit. Yet only a handful of foundations fund sabbaticals, in part because it’s not easy to quantify the impact.
