New Report on Nonprofit Burnout


Hi everyone,

I’m excited to finally share something I’ve been building behind the scenes for the past few years.

Today, the Thrive Profile™ Worker Wellbeing Report officially launches!

This project started with a question I couldn’t stop thinking about:

Why does the nonprofit sector talk so much about burnout, but have so few ways to meaningfully measure and address it?

So I built something I wish existed years ago.

The Thrive Profile™ is a nonprofit worker wellbeing assessment designed to help organizations better understand:

  • stress and burnout
  • organizational conditions
  • leadership impact
  • team culture
  • psychological safety
  • and the protective factors that help workers thrive

The report brings together insights from 600+ nonprofit workers across multiple organizations and regions and explores not just who is struggling, but what thriving organizations may be doing differently.

My hope is that this report contributes to a more thoughtful, practical conversation about worker wellbeing in the nonprofit sector, one that moves us beyond awareness alone and toward meaningful organizational change.

You can explore the report and supporting resources here:

And for organizations interested in the assessment tool itself:

If something resonates with you, I'd love to hear it! You can support by moving the conversation forward:

  • Share a reflection or takeaway publicly
  • Forward the report within your network
  • Introduce the work to a podcast, publication, or potential partner

Excited for the conversations ahead.

With gratitude,
Sequoia
