Insurance needs can change quickly for nonprofits. Some organizations also face confusing processes or limited support. The nonprofits below shared how working with NIA helped them move forward with more clarity and confidence.
The Inspired Community Project (Bronx, NY)
“We had a lot of difficulty and confusion with another insurance company, and we ended up lapsing because there was confusion with our renewal dates.
To ensure that we can focus our attention on the work that we do, we need insurance coverage that is consistent, reliable and most importantly comes from a place that aligns with our mission, vision and values.
We really appreciated having people that fully understand what it means to be a nonprofit and to focus on supporting our growth, and the discounts help us stay on budget.”
— Jillian Moses, CEO & Education Director
Alzheimer’s Family Center (Huntington Beach, CA)
“Before partnering with NIA, we struggled with finding affordable, comprehensive coverage.
Many carriers either didn’t understand the nature of nonprofit work or were hesitant to insure us altogether. The cost of coverage was often prohibitive, and we found ourselves choosing between high premiums or inadequate protection.
With NIA, we not only gained access to a carrier that understands the nonprofit sector, but we also found a partner committed to helping us manage risk without compromising our mission.
Their support has made it possible for us to focus more energy and resources on serving our community, rather than navigating the complexities and costs of insurance alone.”
— Aimee Ruiz, HR Manager
Rusk Good Samaritan (Rusk, TX)
“We were unable to get volunteer accident coverage. Also, replacement value coverage for the building was not affordable.
NIA has been able to get us the coverage we need at rates that are affordable. They also suggest coverage we may not have considered that are imperative for our livelihood.”
— Lana Z, PR Director
Friends of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument (Ashland, OR)
“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.”
— Daniel Collay, Executive Director
Two Hearts Community Development (Reno, NV)
“In today’s world, new nonprofits have a harder time than ever getting insurance.
The NIA rep we worked with was excellent in helping ensure that we had everything in place to make sure that our insurance was as low-cost as possible.
NIA feels like they are partners with us, not just an insurance company. With everything so streamlined these days, it is nice to have them reaching out with the range of resources that they provide. I will not look anywhere else for nonprofit insurance!”
— Susan Clark, Board Chair
