@GEOfunders Yes @GEOfunders, because burnout is REAL!!! Funders can help nonprofit leaders/staff by funding capacity building such as coaching (and not just for the ED), core infrastructure (financial & donor mgmt, cybersecurity, etc.) and strategic comms & planning. Keep it going....

What are the tools we can take back to our communities and increase capacity? The final round of workshops will do a deep dive in preventing burnout, multiyear, flexible funding, power building, reparations and more. #GEO2024

It’s the final day of #GEO2024! We’re kicking off with community-building events as attendees ground in topics including artificial intelligence, equity operations and more. #GEO2024

#GEO2024 Lucheon Plenary: Achieving Historical Wins with Asset Framing with Trabian Shorters, CEO of @BMeCommunity

“Learn how to state their best before the rest. Define people by their aspirations and contributions before their challenges.” @JoinBMe on #assetframing #geo2024

“The way that we’re talking about #enterprisecapital is that it’s #dreamcapital. It says to our grantees ‘take time to rest’ so that they can have the capacity to dream.” #geo2024

Day 2 of #GEO2024 is complete! We’re energized by the connections being made, the insights being shared and the shifts to come.

We can’t transform philanthropic culture without community. Our final round of breakout sessions will continue to connect organizers, consultants, grantmakers and peer practitioners with tools to support nonprofits and communities. #GEO2024
