Assess risks & plan ahead with our new toolkits
April 28, 2025
We’re introducing two new tools to help nonprofits navigate funding and policy changes with clarity and confidence. The Blueprint’s organizational risk assessment & preparedness toolkits offer practical steps for risk planning, safeguarding your mission, and building resilience.
Join us for a virtual walkthrough on Friday, May 9, from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. and gain early access to the toolkits. They’ll be made publicly available the following week.
🛠️ WHAT IS IT?
The comprehensive organizational risk assessment toolkits are designed to help nonprofit organizations break down the complexities of major funding shifts—especially federal policy changes—into manageable, strategic steps. The goal is to support long-term sustainability, protect organizational integrity, and center mission-driven work, even during uncertainty.
They’ll guide nonprofits through:
Risk identification
Mitigation planning
Internal and external messaging
They’re intended for annual use and encourage participation across all staff levels to ensure transparency, alignment, and resilience.
