Initiating risk transfer strategies to protect your organisation.
Historically, NGOs have absorbed financial shocks through reserves and emergency appeals. But in an era of climate volatility, forced displacement, geopolitical crises, and shrinking sovereign aid, this model is breaking down.
This workshop will reveal how tools long used by corporates and governments, including insurance and structured risk-transfer, can give your organisation predictable, multi-year financial protection, unlock private capital, and free up your fundraising teams to focus on mission-led initiatives instead of fighting fires.
Learning outcomes
- Find out how insurance sits alongside grants and donations, to protect your capital stack so philanthropic spend goes further
- Discover how NGO data is an asset, not a barrier – IFRC’s decade of disaster response emergency fund allocation data was the foundation for the world’s first NGO reinsurance transaction
- Learn how brokers act as translators between humanitarian need and capital markets, defining who buys, who pays, and who benefits – matching risk to the right pool of capital
