A Behind The
Scenes Look

Get an exclusive preview of how The Givers Revival’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides real, structured wellness infrastructure for foundation leaders, grant-making organizations, and grantees. Our private podcast takes you inside Sankofa Spiritual Technology, a healing activation we led at Columbia University’s Beyond the Bars Conference—where movement leaders engaged in culturally-rooted wellness practices designed to sustain their leadership, decision-making, and well-being.

LISTEN TO THE EAP IN ACTION PODCAST

The Givers Revival was founded by leaders who have lived, led, and healed within the realities of social justice work. With over 20 years of experience, our leadership team brings a deep understanding of philanthropy, movement-building, and trauma recovery to every activation and initiative we design.

AN EAP ROOTED IN EXPERIENCE

From securing funding for abolitionist organizations to leading restorative justice programs, mentoring returning citizens, and holding trauma recovery circles, our team has worked directly with communities impacted by mass incarceration and systemic oppression. Their experiences navigating burnout, leadership stress, and high-stakes decision-making shape the holistic, movement-rooted approach we take in designing The Givers Revival EAP.

This is why our EAP isn’t a one-off wellness offering—it’s a centralized, scalable solution that integrates culturally-rooted healing, conflict mediation, and leadership support into the infrastructure of philanthropy.

The Issues We Address + Why We Lead This Work

The Beyond the Bars Conference brings together students, faculty, directly impacted leaders, and funders to connect and strategize on ending mass incarceration. At this year’s event, The Givers Revival EAP supported movement leaders in navigating:

  • • Burnout and emotional fatigue from sustained frontline activism.
  • • Decision fatigue in philanthropy, helping funders and grantees make sustainable choices.
  • • Workplace conflict, providing resources for mediation and leadership support.
  • • The disconnect between funders and movement leaders, strengthening relationships, trust and communication.
