Creative Disruption: Sabbaticals for Capacity Building and Leadership Development in the Nonprofit Sector
This study of nonprofit organizations who have participated in sabbatical programs provides emerging evidence that executive director sabbaticals can strengthen the organization—and the sector. Commissioned by the Alston/Bannerman Fellowship Program; the Barr Foundation; the Durfee Foundation; the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund; the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust; and the Rasmuson Foundation. Together these philanthropies have funded more than 325 sabbaticals over the last 10 years. (Source: CompassPoint)
