Description
Like all organizations in today’s volatile marketplace, nonprofits are under tremendous pressure to be more accountable for their operations, specifically to funders, donors, clients, and the public at large. Proper risk management can not only help nonprofits create a sound and transparent financial structure, but also exploit new development opportunities that may not otherwise be realized. Managing Risk in Nonprofit Organizations shows managers how to implement sound risk management procedures in every aspect of their organization.

The authors divide their guide into three sections–The Nature and Purposes of Risk Management, Recognizing the Context for Risk Management, and Risk Financing for Nonprofits. A large array of potential risks is covered, including:

  • Human resource issues
  • Fundraising
  • Internet use
  • Mergers
  • Volunteer management

Senior level managers and executives at nonprofits, board members, professional risk managers and even graduate students will find Managing Risk in Nonprofit Organizations to be an invaluable guide to this vital topic.
