Tending to Those Who Tend to Others

Why do we aim to scholarship our services? Because burnout drives good people away — and most community-based organizations do not have dedicated resources to care for the people doing the caring. 75% of frontline helpers experience burnout in their careers. 67% consider leaving the field for more sustainable work. Most small nonprofits have no budget line for staff or volunteer well-being. Scholarships make rest and renewal possible when cost would otherwise be a barrier.
