Not-for-Profit Self-Assessment

Risk Identification and Evaluation Worksheet

From uncertain economic growth to the speed of technological change, not-for-profit organizations face many risks that threaten the physical or financial welfare of their volunteers, staff, and other stakeholders.

To help improve their risk management processes, we've researched and compiled a risk identification and evaluation worksheet that board members can use to reduce operational risk, achieve their mission objectives, and provide a safe environment for their staff.

How to use this tool

1. Identify the risks to your not-for-profit organization by brainstorming which risks may affect your people, environment, mission objectives, and reputation. Use the chart as a guide to help you brainstorm and document the consequences.

2. For each risk identified, assess the likelihood of its occurrence, and calculate the severity of impact by using the chart’s scoring system before assigning an action for each risk level.

3. Once you’ve defined each risk, in terms of category, impact, and action to take, you’ll be ready to assign a risk owner to prioritize each risk and set risk prevention plans in motion to reduce and control them.
