This toolkit offers a systematic and thoughtful approach to help you to address the possible risks facing your organization. It provides a brief description of what risk management planning is and why you need to do it, and offers tools to help you identify risks and determine your priorities and how/when best to respond. It has been designed as an operational resource primarily for use by Executive Directors, although non-profit Boards may wish to use it as well. Boards can also use the OODP Board Risk Management and Financial Oversight Checklist, which can be found in our Governance section.
