The emotional toll of social justice work is real. Foundation leaders, grant-making organizations and grantees are navigating burnout, workplace trauma, and an unstable funding landscape—without the same well-being support that corporate teams receive. The Givers Revival EAP changes that. There are many wellness initiatives scattered about our communities. Our platform ensures your team and grantees have ongoing access to real, culturally competent support – so they can continue driving change without sacrificing their own well-being.

WHY THIS WORK IS CRITICAL
Every day, foundation leaders and grantees are making difficult decisions, navigating burnout, and carrying the emotional weight of social justice work. The Givers Revival EAP is the missing support system for those who give the most.
NONPROFITS
NEED REAL SUPPORT.
WE DELIVER IT.
Foundation leaders, grant-making organizations and grantees are expected to operate at full capacity while managing high-stakes funding, organizational stress, and emotional exhaustion. Most corporate teams have structured EAPs—philanthropy does not.
The Givers Revival provides ongoing, structured wellness support tailored to the demands of grant-making and nonprofit frontlines. Our EAP offers dedicated wellness advocacy, culturally competent care, and conflict navigation to help teams address workplace burnout, decision fatigue, and leadership stress. No more piecemeal wellness offerings—this is a streamlined, scalable solution for sustaining social change.
Why We Lead
This Work
Â
Our team has worked at the intersection of philanthropy, nonprofit leadership, and healing justice for decades. 
We understand the unique demands of grant-making, movement work, and institutional giving—and we built 
this EAP to meet your specific needs.
The Givers
Revival EAP
A Wellness Infrastructure for Social Change
Philanthropy moves billions of dollars to fund social justice initiatives. Yet the people responsible for this work—grantmakers, foundation executives, and nonprofit leaders—often operate with little to no structured wellness support.
OUR VIRTUAL EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP) PROVIDES:
- Dedicated Wellness Advocates – One-on-one support to navigate workplace stress and leadership burnout.
- Specialized Wellness Concierge – A tailored approach to medical, alternative, and holistic care from practitioners who understand social justice work.
- Conflict Navigation & Organizational Development – Helping teams and funders manage tensions and make strategic decisions under pressure.
- Embodied Healing Modalities – Culturally-rooted practices like sound therapy, spiritual counseling, and plant medicine support.
- Annual In-Person Retreat & Live Virtual Activations – Restorative spaces to reset, reconnect, and strategize from a place of well-being.

TESTIMONIALS
“We understand that to change the world, we must change ourselves. And when leaders are asked to work tirelessly, long hours and contend with extremely traumatic and triggering events - that they themselves face and also the people they organize also face - this can take a toll on their personal well being, the development and stability of their organizations, their families, and more. The Givers Revival has been a critical resource and support to our organizers. Their team of highly skilled healers with lived experiences in organizing, activism, social work, and education, understand the experiences of the people they serve. The Givers Revival reactivates our community’s diverse healing lineages, and returns us back to the models and practices that have helped us not only survive but thrive across generations in the face of racial capitalism, extraction, and interpersonal and systemic violence on our young people, families, and communities.”

TESTIMONIALS
"Over 90% of the organizations we support at Grantmakers for Girls of Color (G4GC) are led by cis and trans women, girls, gender-expansive and non-binary youth and people of Color. It is no secret that most of these leaders experience significant harm to their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing as a result of the extreme stress that results from the structural violence they work every day to combat. At G4GC, we are committed to investing in their wellbeing. For the past two years, we have been sending a cohort of grantees to experience The Givers' Revival as a way of thanking them for their critical work in a way that aligns with their unique cultural lineages. The Givers Revival has offered them a space to truly honor and value themselves, and given them tools to integrate commitments to their own healing and wellbeing into their daily practices and into their organizations. Our partnership with The Givers Revival gives us a way to operationalize our internal commitment to healing justice, and to commit concrete resources to the wellbeing of our communities."

TESTIMONIALS
“My experience at [The Givers Revival 2024 Retreat] was a spiritual balm. It was an honor as a Chicana with 20 years of organizing, and as a long time IFA practitioner, to be part of a Black-centered, multigenerational space that invokes the spirit of our revered ancestral energies with music, traditional healing modalities, musical performance, prayer, and ritual. [The Givers Revival] is an embodiment of the community care infrastructure that we must build to sustain us as community builders and movement makers in this time, as we lead mutual aid and rapid response networks, community defense and protection work and our systems change work, for the long haul.”
