This program is hosted by our partner, Foundant, who has extended an invitation to PNY members.
Across the philanthropic sector, funders are being asked to navigate increasingly complex forms of risk - financial, operational, reputational, and programmatic - while supporting nonprofit partners who are facing their own rising uncertainties.
Yet many common assumptions about risk in philanthropy, how it shows up in grantmaking, and what drives it are being reexamined as foundations explore faster deployment and more collaborative grantee‑centered approaches.
On April 1 at 1:00 PM ET, we’ll bring together leading voices, including funders and experts in nonprofit insurance and financial advisory, for a discussion to unpack the misconceptions about risk in grantmaking that often drive unnecessary burden or slow decision‑making.
You’ll hear:
- Which common misconceptions about risk are shaping funding practices and what a clearer risk management framework can look like for foundations
- Practical ways funders can help nonprofits strengthen their own risk practices
- Engaging in financial risk assessment as a means of better supporting grantees
- The role of risk management in nonprofit and foundation insurance
- How to align internal approaches to risk with mission, values, and grantee relationships
Speakers
- Pamela Davis, Nonprofit Insurance Alliance
- Jennifer Pedroni, BDO
- David Greco, Social Sector Partners
We’ll highlight where funders’ attention is most needed to ensure intended grantmaking results and mitigate risk, as well as share practical ways funders can help grantees navigate and manage their own risk more effectively. We hope to see you there!
