  • Risk Alternatives went above and beyond, not only working with us to get us started with nonprofit risk management, but also explaining the risk process to our board to get additional buy-in. As a small nonprofit organization, that sort of support is a game-changer.

  • We partnered with our local community foundation and other funders to bring Risk Alternatives into the training fold. They provided both public trainings and in-depth follow-up resilience work. Working with Risk Alternatives was great because they helped our nonprofits learn what risk was, why it’s important, and what they needed to have in place. Risk Alternatives was thoughtful in both how they deliver the content and meeting people where they are.

  • Nonprofit risk management is a critical concern for grantees, but for funders, too. We need to create a common vocabulary for discussing risk with the nonprofits we support, and Risk Alternatives plays a vital role in that effort.
