The dedicated, responsive team brokers expect.
When you’re partnering with an insurance provider to find the best coverages for your nonprofit clients, you expect quick turnaround and a dedicated, responsive team. You expect knowledgeable underwriters, with the expertise to answer any concerns regarding your clients’ unique operations.
And above all else, you expect policies that are meticulously crafted to the specialized needs of your clients, so that they continue to renew.
If these aren’t your expectations, Nonprofits Insurance Alliance® (NIA) is prepared to raise them. Your Broker Services team is available to answer any questions about NIA:
- Products, programs, and services
- How NIA operates
- Your designated Underwriting team
- Any inquiries you may have about NIA’s coverages and the wider nonprofit sector.
Whether you’ve had little experience with nonprofits or have worked with the 501(c)(3) sector for years, NIA is here to simplify the process.

Your Liaison with Underwriting
NIA formed at a time of crisis when commercial insurers routinely denied coverage to nonprofits, and NIA continues to cover 501(c)(3) organizations that commercial insurers are inclined to deny.
For those organizations and for all NIA members, the Broker Services team ensures that your experience with the Underwriting team meets and exceeds your expectations.
