Want Someone To Pay For Your Sabbatical?

Day 25

I’m a member of the Women Donors Network .  Today, one of the members posted that Compass Point  link on our confidential listserv that I shared with you earlier here .  It’s the study showing nonprofit executives who take sabbaticals are better at their jobs when they return to work.

But she added something else, and I want to share that with you.  Every two years, the Durfee Foundation  offers up to six people the opportunity to receive a $35,000 stipend for a sabbatical .  There are a lot of conditions  – the biggest one is that you’ve got to be a nonprofit exec for an organization headquartered in Los Angeles County.

Even if you don’t qualify for this particular program, perhaps the fact that it exists will inspire you to seek out previously unimagined sources of support for your sabbatical.

And now, back to mine.
