To Our Valued Brokers and Agents:
As a broker representing nonprofits, you have a unique responsibility. 501(c)(3) organizations support the education, economic stability, artistic development, health and wellness, and animal and environmental stewardship in our communities.
At a time when commercial insurers are unable or unwilling to provide the coverages nonprofits need to operate, you have chosen to marshal your resources and talent to support the work of charitable organizations by connecting them to the best insurer possible.
In a hardening market, you’ve chosen the difficult work of finding the right insurance for your nonprofit clients, so that they can continue to feed, clothe, and shelter — as well as inspire, enlighten, and empower — the most vulnerable populations of our communities.
Your unique responsibility is accompanied by unique challenges. NIA has created the pages below to help you place your clients with an insurer who understands nonprofit risks, provides fair and equitable pricing, and has a vested interest in helping you
achieve your organizational goals. After all, with high ideals for yourselves, it’s only reasonable that your standards for your partners are equally high.
When insurers under the NIA brand formed 35+ years ago, we were successful due in no small part to the dedicated work of small, independent brokers who believed in our potential, loved the work of their clients — and loved working with us!
Now, through the realization of our mission, we’ve also earned the confidence and trust of midsized and large agencies.
These tools are a result of cultivating long-respected and appreciated relationships with brokers like you.
