We’re excited to share that Allegany Franciscan Ministries has selected Connect For More as the lead collaborative partner for our Inaugural Nonprofit Executive Leadership Sabbatical Program, a first of its kind, initiative in Florida.

This program will provide nonprofit executive leaders across the state with a three month sabbatical in 2026 to rest, reflect, and recharge. During this time, their organizations will receive capacity-building support and leadership coaching to help ensure long-term sustainability.

“This is more than a sabbatical—it’s a strategic investment in the health and future of Florida’s nonprofit sector.” — Liz Wooten, President & CEO, Connect For More

Through this partnership, we aim to center the wellbeing of nonprofit professionals, strengthen leadership pipelines, and challenge the norms that lead to burnout and turnover across the sector.

Why it matters:

This announcement isn’t just about one program or one partnership. It’s about shifting the conversation and creating real, sustainable change in Florida’s nonprofit ecosystem.

Thank you for being part of our growing community committed to equity, healing, and systems-level change.
