Many nonprofit teams are not equipped to handle unexpected, chaotic, or emotionally-charged situations. The best remedy is to take steps that will help your team apply critical thinking skills to make the best possible decisions when facing unexpected circumstances beyond their control.
The North Carolina Center for Nonprofits and Duke Energy partnered with the Nonprofit Risk Management Center to offer a free Toolkit for Building Organizational Resilience (download below) and four-part webinar series, Building Organizational Resilience, to help your nonprofit take the necessary steps to prepare for a crisis.
