Why do so many nonprofit executives leave the sector within five years? Hint: fundraising and boards.
In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Darian Rodriguez Heyman, Founder at Helping People Help, Author, and former Executive Director of the Craigslist Foundation and the NUMI Foundation. Darian discusses:
- Why so many nonprofit executives leave the sector and how executive coaching is the most cost-effective way to address executive burnout.

- How organizations can manage the transition from a working board to a fundraising board.
- The best way to cultivate potential donors to ensure fundraising success. The key is getting donors to invite your organization to apply.
- How to make Board meetings more effective and move the organization’s mission forward.
