Work for a nonprofit?
Need a break?

A.J. Fletcher Foundation is offering nonprofit leaders some R&R
August 25-27.

  • “No one has gifted me peace before, and it was extraordinary.”

  • "I absolutely loved the tranquility, hospitality, and kindness I experienced while on my retreat."

  • "I could instantly feel the focus coming back to my brain and the weight lifted from my shoulders."

  • "This was not like a family vacation, it was truly a retreat just for me and the time spent with myself will remain one of the most valuable moments of time well spent."

  • "While I was supposed to not think about work, I found myself with the time to really think through critical parts of our work, my team, and the little details that often goes neglected due to busy schedules."

What to expect:

We are offering our current grantees the chance to go to the St. Francis Springs Prayer Center in Rockingham County for a two-night overnight restful retreat. There are a few caveats you should be aware of before you sign up to attend.

1) This offer is good for August 25-27 (2 nights).

2) We really want you to immerse yourself in the rest and relaxation part of this retreat. We’d recommend leaving your laptop at home. We hope you can use this trip as an opportunity to unplug and recharge your own batteries.

3) This opportunity is separate from our grantmaking work. You should not feel obligated to take advantage of this. Rather, we are offering this as an additional means of support to you and your organization. No A.J. Fletcher Foundation staff nor board members will be present during your stay.

4) A.J. Fletcher Foundation will be covering the cost of your overnight stay and meals while you are at the St. Francis Springs Prayer Center. We assume that you will have your own means of transportation to get to/from the Prayer Center in Stoneville, NC. However, if the cost of travelling will prevent you from participating, please email Nicole Stewart at nicole@ajf.org.

5) Upon your return, we are hoping that you will provide us with feedback about your time at St. Francis Springs Prayer Center.

If you’re still interested, please take a moment to register by completing the form below. We will be filling up spaces first come, first served. If you have any questions, please email Nicole Stewart at nicole@ajf.org.
