Excited to announce our BREAKWEEK pilot grantees!
PILOT DETAILS
R&R is the first organization to provide BREAKWEEK grants to the Jewish communal sector on a national scale.
BREAKWEEK, powered by R&R: The Rest of our Lives, is an opportunity for US-based Jewish nonprofit organizations to experiment with a powerful talent intervention - a 1-week org-wide break - in a structured format, paired with implementation guides, coaching support, customized evaluation tools, peer-to-peer engagement and a $5,000 grant.
Organizational-wide closures are a proven practice that have been utilized across sectors to promote habits of wellbeing, retention and productivity, and combat burn-out, attrition and exhaustion. Rest-based interventions, such as this, are a critical part of equity work, defining organizational culture and giving all team members agency to help make their day-to-day feel sustainable.
