The Nonprofit Risk Book guides you through the process of finding, managing and mitigating risks that sap your nonprofit organization's time, finances, and resources. The book will lead you through a systematic process of evaluating what you know best: your organization and its operations. You will learn how to build a list of risks and evaluate each one for its likelihood and impact. After assigning a priority to each risk based on its severity and determining the resources needed to address it, you will be able to create a risk register. From this, you will be able to plan mitigation actions to address each risk and set dates for mitigation plan review and completion. Learn how to use the tools nonprofit leaders need to manage risk in programs and other operations.

In this work, we review the macro and microeconomic causes of NPOs’ vulnerability before presenting an approach to assess the financial vulnerability of a nonprofit and especially to assess its hazard rate of dissolution. To achieve this, we use a survival analysis which calculates, in our case, the hazard rate of dissolution, the vulnerability, after a certain period of time of existence of an NPO. This survival analysis is based on an explanative variable constituted by a financial capacity and a sustainability measure and an interaction variable between financial capacity and financial sustainability. This interaction variable shows that the effect of financial capacity or financial sustainability on hazard rate of dissolution depends on, respectively, the level of financial sustainability or financial capacity. So, we show how these two aspects of the financial state of an NPO are linked and why they should be considered together when assessing the vulnerability of an NPO. This indicates that we should study the effect of a financial change, such as revenue diversification for instance, on both financial capacity and financial sustainability in order to understand its overall effect on financial vulnerability.

America's public parks are in a golden age. Hundreds of millions of dollars-both public and private-fund urban jewels like Manhattan's Central Park. Keeping the polish on landmark parks and in neighborhood playgrounds alike means that the trash must be picked up, benches painted, equipment tested, and leaves raked. Bringing this often-invisible work into view, however, raises profound questions for citizens of cities. In Who Cleans the Park? John Krinsky and Maud Simonet explain that the work of maintaining parks has intersected with broader trends in welfare reform, civic engagement, criminal justice, and the rise of public-private partnerships. Welfare-to-work trainees, volunteers, unionized city workers (sometimes working outside their official job descriptions), staff of nonprofit park "conservancies," and people sentenced to community service are just a few of the groups who routinely maintain parks. With public services no longer being provided primarily by public workers, Krinsky and Simonet argue, the nature of public work must be reevaluated. Based on four years of fieldwork in New York City, Who Cleans the Park? looks at the transformation of public parks from the ground up. Beginning with studying changes in the workplace, progressing through the public-private partnerships that help maintain the parks, and culminating in an investigation of a park's contribution to urban real-estate values, the book unearths a new urban order based on nonprofit partnerships and a rhetoric of responsible citizenship, which at the same time promotes unpaid work, reinforces workers' domination at the workplace, and increases the value of park-side property. Who Cleans the Park? asks difficult questions about who benefits from public work, ultimately forcing us to think anew about the way we govern ourselves, with implications well beyond the five boroughs.
