Waste-Free Advocates

Portland, OR

“We tried to get insurance through another provider, but the insurance agent must have left the company between when we got the quote and when we were ready to initiate insurance.

We reached out to the company to get another agent, but I think because we were so small and somewhat outside the normal organization that they insured, we could never get someone to call us back. 

We're a super small organization, so we needed insurance that wouldn't break the bank. It feels like NIA just gets us, and that they care and want our nonprofit to succeed.”

KRE8ivU

“As a small nonprofit doing hands-on conservation and education work, we needed insurance that understood our world.

Before working with NIA, our biggest challenge was finding insurance that truly understood the scope of our work, especially outdoor programs in partnership with federal agencies.

Some providers didn’t cover activities like guided hikes or volunteer stewardship days, or they offered policies that were either too generic or too expensive for our small budget. Navigating those limitations made it harder to grow our programs with confidence.

NIA has been a steady, thoughtful partner: Responsive, clear, and tuned into the real risks and realities of field-based programs. We trust them to have our back.”

“The biggest challenge we had with other insurance companies was finding any that will cover a nonprofit at reasonable price — or offer any coverage at all.

With NIA, you don’t have to "reinvent the wheel." NIA has programs in place for nonprofits of all sizes. Their counseling on the many policy options was invaluable and the rates for the coverage offered was some of the best that we were able to find.

In short: NIA made the process of getting insurance for our organization so simple and easy and we are confident that we are backed by a highly qualified company.”

“Unfortunately, our experience with our previous insurance provider was challenging. We encountered consistent issues with customer service, including delays in response times and a lack of clear communication.

Additionally, we discovered that we were underinsured, which left our center vulnerable. Despite seeking guidance, we were not provided with the necessary support to ensure we had adequate coverage. It seemed our previous provider simply did not understand the unique needs of our organization and was unable to offer proactive solutions to protect our mission and community.

Switching to NIA was a game-changer for our center. After struggling with poor customer service and inadequate coverage from our previous provider, NIA provided the support, expertise, and comprehensive protection we needed.

Their team understands the unique risks nonprofits face and has given us peace of mind so we can focus on serving our community.”

“NIA was there when we needed you most! Our previous carrier dropped our policy, through no fault of our own, and with zero notice.

It took us several months to find NIA, and we are so grateful that we did. NIA now covers all of our insurance needs, and the risk management resources are invaluable!”
