Concentration Reduction Plan.

Reduce the dependence you can, and for the dependence you cannot, build the cushion and the plan that make its loss survivable.

In Reduce the Concentrations That Could Sink You, after the Concentration Map, for your ranked dangerous dependences.

Reduction section (Step 2)

For each dependence you can realistically reduce, name the move to spread it, whether it is achievable this year, and where the work lives.

Dependence

The realistic move to spread it

Achievable this year?

Where the work lives

Where the concentration is your money, the actual work of building broader revenue is your fundraising and funding work. Name it and send it there

Your target: what share from any single source would let you sleep at night?

Buffer-and-response section (Step 3)

For each dependence you cannot reduce soon:

How long a cushion would you need to carry you while you replaced this source if it vanished?

The reserve to build that cushion is financial work. Send the target and the build to your financial management

Your rapid-response plan for the week you lost it: the first calls, the costs you would cut, the services you would protect

The honest board conversation: when and how you will raise the risk you carry, so it is a shared, eyes-open decision

A good result spreads every dependence you reasonably can, sends the revenue and reserve work to where it belongs, and leaves every irreducible dependence with a cushion being built and a written plan for the day it is lost. A dependence with neither a reduction nor a buffer is still a single point that could sink you.
