What coverage does your non–profit need?
Because non–profits vary in size and type, there are many coverage options available that may fit the needs of your organization. Some factors to consider in building a policy are whether or not you deal with members of the public at risk of injury, such as elderly or disabled people. You’ll also need to think about any type of transportation you use, particularly if it’s to carry people who aren’t staff. You might even face claims if people are hurt or face costs because of shortcomings in the help or advice you provide.
What organizations need non–profit insurance?
Tax–exempt organizations such as volunteer fire departments, unions, religious groups, recreational clubs, charities, and more may require non–profit insurance.
Why do you need non–profit insurance?
Having non–profit insurance for your organization may help protect you regarding professional mistakes, lawsuits, bankruptcy, and damage to your reputation.
How much does non–profit insurance cost?
The cost of covering your organization may depend on a variety of factors, including your location, the size of your non–profit, how many employees and workers you have, and what type of organization you run.
Policies for your staff and directors.
It’s also particularly important to check how an insurance policy distinguishes between the organization itself and the personal liabilities of any of the directors. Meanwhile, if you employ staff, you’ll also need to look at potential risks such as claims of harassment or discrimination. Coverages such as directors and officers liability, workers’ compensation, and employment practice liability insurance may help your organization in these situations.
