Did you know that 1 in 5 projects are vulnerable to disruptions that could derail impact? Are you prepared? 

Our ability to achieve greater impact depends, in part, upon our willingness and our capacity to protect our grants and investments from unexpected disruption. In other words, in order to maximize impact, we must tackle risk. We can do this by integrating more explicit risk management practices into our philanthropic pursuits.  

This self-paced course provides practitioners with the concepts, tools, and insights needed to understand how risk shows up in our values and decision-making, protect philanthropic investment from unexpected shocks, and build trust with grantees to ensure they can overcome roadblocks to impact.
