Improper Sexual Conduct and Physical Abuse Liability

Coverage for nonprofit employees, volunteers, and the organization for allegations of sexual and/or physical abuse. Event trigger and claims-made available.

Social Service Professional Liability

Directors and Officers Liability (D&O)

D&O, fiduciary, and employment practices (EPLI) coverage for the organization and its directors and officers, employees, and volunteers for allegations of wrongful acts. Affordable flat-rate D&O without EPLI for nonprofits without employees.

Business Auto Liability and Physical Damage

Coverage for vehicle fleets of all sizes, driven by employees or volunteers. Can include personal vehicles that are being used for nonprofit work.

Businessowners Property

Coverage for the physical assets a nonprofit owns or leases — such as buildings, office equipment, computers, furniture, etc. Generous, modified BOP, includes business income and extra expense.

Participant/Volunteer Accident Coverage

Limited coverage for injury to a volunteer or participant (depending on the coverage) on a no-fault basis. May apply prior to (or in excess of) an individual’s health insurance policy.

Umbrella Liability

While a $1 million limit works for most claims, umbrella liability provides the excess coverage some nonprofits may need.
