The president of Organizational Sustainability Consulting, Ari Betof provides a wide variety of services for the board members and leaders of private sector companies and nonprofits. Ari Betof responded to the COVID-19 crisis by co-hosting a series of webinar presentations titled “Navigating the COVID-19 Independent School Financial Crisis.”

Designed to support the heads of schools and chief financial officers of more than four hundred SAIS, NJAIS, ADVIS, and PAIS member schools, the first “Navigating the COVID-19 Independent School Financial Crisis” webinar took place on March 31, 2020. These webinars provide valuable information on the ways in which independent schools can face the financial sustainability challenges that the global COVID-19 pandemic presents.

Along with his colleague Kelsey Vrooman, Dr. Betof modeled comprehensive combinations of present and future financial factors as they pertain to the effects of COVID-19. The webinar placed a particular emphasis on employing decision-making processes that are both informed by accurate data and driven by mission-specific goals. It strives to help vulnerable institutions with COVID-19-related decreases in tuition revenue, educational sector giving, and auxiliary income.

Organizational Sustainability Consulting, in partnership with Actionable Institutional Research & Data, is offering a combination of consulting and financial modeling for organizations in need of direct support.
