With at least 8 in 10 grant professionals reporting burnout, the question often isn’t if it will happen, but when. The high stakes, tight deadlines, revenue pressure, and constant pivoting required in grant work can take a real toll. Designed for grant professionals, this interactive webinar creates space to name burnout clearly, understand its root causes, and explore practical strategies for preventing and navigating it, both individually and organizationally.
Grounded in research yet highly relatable, this session will define burnout in simple, practical terms and distinguish it from ordinary stress or fatigue. We’ll examine the systemic and cultural factors that contribute to burnout in grant roles, including unrealistic expectations, siloed communication, lack of recognition, and chronic overload. Participants will identify burnout-inducing patterns within their own organizations and leave with concrete tools to address and alleviate them.
This is the second webinar in the Thriving Grant Professional Series. For details about the third and fourth sessions in this series, visit Peace of Mind: Productivity Methods and Tools and End the Year Well: Boundaries and Strategies for a Thriving Life.
