"Learning in this space was so open, relaxing, warm, and educational. Not a typical environment when talking about finances." - workshop participant
2 hour online workshop using Zoom
We encourage taking other sessions in this series which build upon and compliment one another: you can see the full series of upcoming public workshops here.
Budgets and budget creation are key elements of both financial management and values alignment. We’ll ground ourselves in a basic and empowering understanding of what a budget is, discuss how it relates to governance, and share ways to engage your entire organization in the process. Using a mix of both presentation and hands-on interactive examples, we’ll explore how to use your budget as a living document to guide planning and accountability throughout the year.
Learning Goals for this handicap events:
· increase understanding of how to create an organizational budget
· strengthen ability to assess the viability of a budget
· build confidence in asking finance questions
· have fun!
A recording of this session will be shared with registrants afterwards.
