After spending almost 20 years in the charitable giving world, I realized it's time to help more nonprofits thrive rather than just survive, while also helping those who have MONEY TO GIVE find top organizations that are deserving of their donations. So join us here for more of that giving feeling!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T22:17:16.311079+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/money-to-give-6097554"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 69 Why Nonprofit Leaders Burn Out And How To Change It with Sean Kosofsky","slug":"ep-69-why-nonprofit-leaders-burn-out-and-how-to-change-it-with-sean-kosofsky","published_at":"2026-03-12T11:00:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/money-to-give-6097554/ep-69-why-nonprofit-leaders-burn-out-and-how-to-change-it-with-sean-kosofsky","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/money-to-give-6097554","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-69-why-nonprofit-leaders-burn-out-and-how-to-change-it-with-sean-kosofsky--70554883","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70554883/sean_kosofsky.mp3","summary":"What happens when nonprofit leaders are expected to solve complex social problems without the training, support, or protections needed to sustain themselves long term? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Sean Kosofsky for a candid and deeply practical conversation about burnout, leadership turnover, fundraising pressure, and the structural challenges facing nonprofit executive directors today. Drawing from his experience leading five nonprofits and coaching leaders across the country, Sean explains why so many talented mission-driven professionals struggle — not because they lack passion, but because they often lack the systems, training, and organizational support required to succeed sustainably. Sean shares insights on nonprofit growth pressure, realistic strategic planning, board dynamics, leadership coaching, and why employment contracts may be one of the most overlooked protections in the nonprofit sector. The discussion also explores how executive directors can better manage expectations, avoid overextending themselves, create healthier workplace cultures, and focus on sustainable impact instead of constant survival mode. Whether you are a nonprofit leader, board member, donor, consultant, or someone considering leadership in the sector, this episode offers an eye-opening and highly actionable look at what it truly takes to build healthier, more resilient nonprofit organizations.
