What Attendees Said about This Nonprofit Webinar:

“Cherian covered a ton of ground in a short period of time - this was the best webinar I've attended regarding budgeting during a crisis period!”

Mark Tipton, WERU Community Radio

“The presenter was extremely knowledgeable and provided an engaging approach to a subject that I normally find dry and dreadful.”

Marsha Filion, Hospice Help Foundation

“This webinar gave hands-on suggestions I can do immediately to get a sense of where my organization is now and how to adjust for the future.   Not just theory but some nuts and bolts.”

Nancy Wiehagen, The Greeley Transitional House, Inc.

“It's rare when I encounter a webinar in which I experience every piece of information shared to be extremely valuable.  This is one, no question.  Mr. Koshy not only knocked it out of the park, he knocked it a mile out of the park.”

David Luna

“The presenter was extremely knowledgeable, very well versed in nonprofit work, and gave real and useful information for a spectrum of budget in crisis organizations during this scary pandemic. I appreciated the uplifting sentiments that we are all amazing and extremely intelligent, too.”

Jenny DeRuntz, The YWCA Berkeley/Oakland

“Game changer for budgeting post Covid-19. Presenter Cherian Koshy brought a lot of value. Budgeting 101 from a non-CEO Prospective. Lots of practical takeaways. The one that struck home was the strategy for presenting worst case budget scenario to our Boards.”

Scharan Johnson, Informs

“We are a very small non-profit agency and under normal conditions do not have money available to pay for webinars.  Therefore, we are extremely thankful that you occasionally offer free webinars that we can take advantage of your remote learning opportunities.”

Mary Coates, The Cumberland Adult Reading Council

“The ability to hear from a true Fundraiser, Cherian Koshy, on how accounting departments think and function was priceless!  This might have been the most worthwhile seminar I've ever attended.”

Lorie Fees

“Cherian Koshy is a fantastic presenter on many topics (I'm a fan!). And in this instance, he excelled even more. Trying to make sense of budgeting in the midst of this COVID crisis is an extremely daunting task. Cherian was honest about the challenges (a welcome relief!) and then offered actionable steps for how to do the best possible in uncertain, volatile times. This session helped me move from dismay to conviction on how I can, and must, act to sustain my nonprofit.”

Karen Schofield-Leca, American Nurses Association

“This webinar was extremely timely and detailed. The host covered a lot of information in a short period of time while still addressing the needs of the audience. I was very impressed by the added "Remember to celebrate when you're doing well" slide. It was a healthy reminder for the current environment.  Our organization is very grateful to have access to this service.” 

Debrasha Rogers, Danceworks Inc.

“This was a very clear description of how to use budgeting in strategic planning during this unusual time.  It is very helpful to have these tools.”

Marilyn Cleveland
