Description

In recent months, we’ve experienced dramatic shifts in the role of the federal government to address economic disparities, a destabilizing funding environment for economic and racial justice work, and increased risk in the operating landscape for nonprofits more generally. We’ve heard from many organizations that are evaluating and raising questions about what it looks like to operate and effectively assess and manage risk in a continually shifting political, economic, and legal environment. Questions that are coming to the forefront are:

  • What steps can my organization take to protect our work and the advancements we’ve made in an increasingly hostile funding and political environment?
  • What different legal structures or organizational combinations should we be exploring?
  • What are some pivots we need to make?
  • What does good risk assessment and inadequate risk management look like?
