From the Claims files:
Here are a few examples of how NIA’s Commercial General Liability coverage has helped nonprofits.

List of coverages:
Here’s the menu of NIA’s nonprofit insurance offerings.
Note: NIA’s Commercial General Liability coverage is required if you want to purchase any other coverages from NIA.
Coverage for a wide range of negligent acts which result in bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, or advertising injury. Liquor liability included at no extra fee.
Coverage for nonprofit employees, volunteers, and the organization for allegations of sexual and/or physical abuse. Event trigger and claims-made available.
Coverage for employees, volunteers, interns, students-in-training, and independent contractors for damages resulting from errors and omissions in the provision of certain professional services.
Board & Executive is NIA’s brand name for a group of coverages that provide protection for boards of directors and executives. Includes options for Directors and Officers (D&O), Fiduciary Liability, and EPLI.
Coverage for vehicle fleets of all sizes, driven by employees or volunteers. Can include personal vehicles that are being used for nonprofit work.
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.
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.
While a $1 million limit works for most claims, umbrella liability provides the excess coverage some nonprofits may need.
