Getting Started with Enterprise Risk Management: A Guide for Nonprofits

Getting Started with ERM for Nonprofits

The ERM Initiative at NC State is pleased to announce the release of Getting Started with Enterprise Risk Management: A Guide for Nonprofits.  This guide incorporates insights and valuable experiences from a number of non-profit organizations about their implementation of enterprise-wide risk management practices. The guide is loaded with an extensive amount of practical suggestions that will be incredibly helpful to other non-profit leaders as they seek to strengthen their understanding of the rapidly evolving risk landscape in today’s complex business environment.

Practical ERM Resources

The objective of this guide is to provide an extensive amount of practical ERM resources specifically tailored to all types and sizes of nonprofit organizations. The guide provides practical suggestions for nonprofit organizations, whether they are exploring ERM, in the early stages of implementation, or looking to strengthen current processes in place.

ERM Templates

We are especially excited that the guide provides a comprehensive outline of the entire ERM process along with several easy to use templates available for download (see links below). These resources can be leveraged to facilitate risk-related discussions as well as to identify, assess and manage enterprise-wide risks that could have a significant impact on an organization’s ability to achieve its mission and strategic goals.

In the video below, Amy Wares provides a brief overview of the content in this guide.
