RHINEBECK, N.Y., Mar. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Omega, a nonprofit educational organization, today announced 32 organizations working across the spectrum of social, economic, and environmental issues will be awarded working retreat grants. The announcement marks the fifteenth year of the Nonprofit Retreats at Omega program, which has served more than 5,000 people from more than 400 organizations since 2005, helping to strengthen the nonprofit safety-net that so many people depend upon.

"As a nonprofit, we know first-hand how difficult it can be to take time away from the office for strategic thinking and reflection, but it is crucial to building capacity and strengthening organizational well-being," said Carla Goldstein, chief external affairs officer at Omega. "Over the past 15 years, these gatherings have proven to help organizations re-engage with shared purpose, heal organizational rifts, and deepen commitment to their mission, while also providing participants the opportunity to enjoy some much-needed peace and relaxation."

Taking place during the week of Memorial Day, 2019, recipients will attend one of two annual "summits" The Strengthening Communities Summit (May 27-29) will bring together nonprofits that prioritize a range of social, economic, or environmental issues. The Women Serving Women Summit (May 29-31), hosted by the Omega Women's Leadership Center, will focus on organizations that serve the needs and interests of women.

"Nonprofit retreats at Omega offer an invaluable, one-of-a-kind experience that produces real outcomes," said Doug Sauer, chief executive officer of the New York Council of Nonprofits (NYCON), Omega's partner in the program. "We hear time and time again from leaders and individual participants that the experience helped clarify priorities, enhanced camaraderie, and enabled them to return to work with renewed direction and energy."

Each organization will conduct 3-day/2-night, self-led, working retreats, accessing the amenities on Omega's 250-acre Hudson Valley campus. The grant includes simple accommodations, meals, and a private meeting space.
