Need a Risk Management Plan? We Can Help!
My Risk Management Plan is an easy-to-use, affordable online tool that walks you through the steps of creating a custom risk management plan for your nonprofit. A growing number of accrediting agencies, national federations and insurers require the completion of a plan. My Risk Management Plan will help you do that in short order. The program offers core modules as well as the ability to create custom modules to address the unique risks facing your nonprofit. Your answers are saved in a secure database, and you can start, stop and resume work at your convenience. The cost is only $139, or $79 if your nonprofit is a member of one of our Satellite Offices (see ABOUT US for details). To learn more or get started, click here.
