Risk Ready nonprofits
Operational clarity, rooted in purpose and built to last
Elevate compliance from a box-checking exercise to a core resilience strategy.
Maybe your bylaws are dusty.
Maybe your 990 was filed with an old address.
Maybe you’ve inherited systems that are more patchwork than policy.
You’ve come this far because of your vision. But staying mission-focused means staying protected — from burnout, legal risk, and slow leaks that can drain your credibility, contracts, or funding.
This isn’t just about paperwork.
It’s about peace of mind.
Risk-Ready Nonprofits is a consulting initiative led by Megan Devenport in collaboration with A+ Insight. We help mission-driven organizations build the awareness, practices, and systems needed to navigate risk with clarity and confidence—before it becomes a crisis.
This work is rooted in the belief that risk-readiness is equity work—it’s about protecting your people, your mission, and your momentum in an era where organizations advancing justice are increasingly under the microscope.
What we offer:
Start with a Mission Safe Check Up that identifies your biggest risks and what to do about them — no judgment, just clarity.
This service includes:
A focused organizational risk scan, prioritizing HR, financial, and governance basics
A plain-language risk summary
A prioritized action plan with recommended next steps
A 60-minute strategy session with Megan to inform your implementation plan
This is ideal for Executive Directors, senior teams, or board leaders who want to spot cracks before they widen—or build confidence around what’s already strong.
Why this Matters
Today’s nonprofits are navigating an increasingly complex—and often hostile—risk landscape. From compliance gaps and leadership transitions to politicized backlash and public scrutiny, the stakes are higher for organizations that lead with equity.
A growing faction of political actors openly opposes nonprofit organizations focused on creating a more just world. We help you prepare—not react—by identifying hidden vulnerabilities, strengthening your internal infrastructure, and building a culture that can confidently handle hard conversations and high-stakes decisions.
Being risk-ready doesn’t mean becoming risk-averse. It means aligning your systems, people, and practices to sustain your mission—even when external conditions get hard.

Executive Directors Building Stability
You’re leading through growth, transition, or maybe for the first time—and you're ready to make sure the back end is as strong as your front-facing impact. This checkup helps you feel confident in your systems and clear on what matters most.

You’re managing day-to-day operations or governance and want a clear view of where things stand. This gives you a focused, actionable picture of risk areas—without the overwhelm (or a 50-page audit).

You care deeply about how your mission shows up behind the scenes—in your policies, processes, and how you care for your people. This checkup helps ensure your internal infrastructure reflects your values.

Meet Megan
I am a strategist and facilitator with deep experience supporting nonprofit and civic leaders through growth, crisis, and change. My work combines systems thinking, equity-centered practice, and a steady hand in moments of complexity.
With two decades of experience across direct service, executive leadership, and consulting, I bring both practical expertise and a systems-level view to my work. As Executive Director of Building Bridges, I led a multi-year transformation grounded in racial equity and participatory governance. I’ve continued this work in consulting roles with organizations like Joy as Resistance—supporting shared leadership, equitable compensation, and values-aligned operations.
I lead Risk Ready Nonprofits in collaboration with Alyssa and A+ Insight, bringing aligned values and complementary approaches to leadership and organizational development.
My signature service, the Risk Ready Review, helps nonprofits build strong, behind-the-scenes systems that protect and sustain their mission. I also provide implementation support for orgs rolling out strategic plans or change initiatives—especially when it’s time to move from the “big idea” to the actual doing.
Let’s connect! I’d love to hear about what you’re navigating and explore how I can support you. Book a free 30-minute consultation right here.
