Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) for Nonprofits: A Primer
Organizations today are exposed to a multitude of risks and opportunities in conducting their activities. Surprisingly, most never see the threats or, more frequently, are unable to change quickly enough to avoid them, or to turn them into opportunities. This virtual gathering explored why risk management is essential as a strategic tool for communicating risk information using distinct tools and addressing gaps in the control and management of nonprofits. Specifically, we introduced approaches that nonprofits can apply to strategically identify, mitigate, and manage their risks.
