Business Continuity + Nonprofit Boards and Executive Teams

Nonprofit boards and executive teams ultimately work to protect the nonprofit’s reputation and assets and while also looking to maintain sustainability long terms. As your strategic partner, we look beyond coverage and limits, but through the lens of business continuity management and enterprise risk management. We employ various processes, including our Riskmap process that engages your key stakeholders in identifying your strengths and weakness and means to building strategic plans. Strategic plans include analysis of the following areas:

Assets – A nonprofits endowments and physical assets are core to a nonprofit. Often overlooked is the reputation. Reputation risk can be challenge to insure and we take a closer look at your nonprofits reputation risk through the enterprise risk management process.

Exposure – This critical evaluation examines the mission and the risk-reward analysis to uncover gaps and exposed areas of liability. Understanding your nonprofit’s mission and the stakeholders you serve are critical to taking on and avoiding certain risks. Nonprofits help society solve many challenges and these opportunities require proven risk management programs in place to protect the nonprofit and its reputation long term.

Jurisdiction – With states exercising control over prior protections, such as charitable immunity and statute of limitations, we will analyze your jurisdiction’s history and track record of verdicts as part of your overall strategy.

Limits as targets - We look at limits both as potential targets for litigators and well as strategies to protect the assets of the organization. While limits can protect your assets, they may be discoverable for litigation which could be devastating if a full limit is triggered.

Duty of care – We see this as the most critical discussion between board and staff leaders. Being prepared and knowing your risks is in this era of transparency and accountability is a mandate in today’s world. “Just Google It” makes it impossible not to know. We help you make informed decisions daily, knowing the risks and rewards, thus allowing you to align mitigation with insurance, risk management and operational best practices.

By providing business continuity evaluations, you establish reasonable precaution and worries of appropriate limits subside while protecting your nonprofit and board’s personal assets.
