The Risk Collaborative provides charity trustees with practical, tailored support to help them meet their governance responsibilities, manage threats and opportunities, and improve their decision making.

Trustees are ultimately accountable for safeguarding their organizations, but many face challenges understanding and overseeing complex and evolving risks—especially in dynamic operating environments. The Risk Collaborative offers tools, training, and expert guidance designed specifically for the nonprofit context, helping trustees move beyond static risk registers to a more strategic, objective-centered approach.

Through our projects, trustees gain access to simplified risk analysis and management tools, real-world case studies, and trusted networks of peers and professionals. We also support trustees in building a shared vocabulary around risk and enabling more effective communication with staff, funders, and partners. By embedding risk awareness into governance practices, The Risk Collaborative empowers trustees to make informed decisions, strengthen organizational resilience, and fulfill their duties with greater confidence and clarity.

Risk doesn’t have to be a barrier—it can be a powerful enabler.
