The California Wellness Foundation Sabbatical Program was launched in
June 2003 to improve the long-term effectiveness of health service
nonprofits by providing their executives with the rest they need to
continue to direct their organizations' missions. The program, funded by
a grant to CompassPoint NonProfit Services, provides $30,000 grants to
organizations to cover the leaders' salaries for three- to six-month
sabbaticals.
The 2003 program deadline has passed. To learn more about the
application process for a 2004 sabbatical grant, please visit
