After a long day of serving your mission, how do you unwind?

Our Associate Director finds her reset through music. Here she is sharing a moment with her ukulele, playing “Round and Round” by Perry Como.

In nonprofit work, the pace does not always slow down, which is why finding moments to recharge matters. Whether it is music, a walk, time with family, or something else entirely, these moments help us show up stronger for the communities we serve.

We would love to hear from you.
How do you relax after a long day or a big project?

Send us a note or a short video sharing what helps you recharge. With your permission, we may feature your response in a future post.

We’re excited to share a new addition to our Nonprofit Austin gear, with more items coming soon. Our latest sticker, Mission-Driven, Coffee-Fueled, is now available. It’s a small but fun way to celebrate the energy and dedication that fuels nonprofit work every day.

All of our gear is offered at no cost. If you’re in the area or participating in one of our learning opportunities or certificate programs and would like one, simply ask a member of our team. We would be happy to share!
