Some nonprofits experience confusion, delays, or limited choices when they look for insurance. The organizations featured here shared their own experiences of working with NIA to move forward with coverage options they felt fit their operations, along with clearer guidance as they continued their work.
Seva Care of Alachua (Alachua, FL)
“It was challenging to get insurance from other companies for the things we do. NIA readily insured us — and at good rates. We are grateful!”
— Lily Allin, Executive Director
KRE8ivU (Lexington, NC)
“Our biggest challenge was finding the right insurance provider that truly met our needs. We spent weeks filling out forms and engaging with various insurance companies, only to discover they didn’t offer the coverage we required — particularly for issues like child molestation or sexual misconduct, which are critical for organizations like ours that work with at-risk youth.
For five years, we were insured with Hiscox, but as our organization grew, it became clear they couldn’t support us at the level we needed. Other insurance agencies we explored lacked the specialized support and resources that Nonprofits Insurance Alliance provides to its members.
Lastly, affordability was a major factor. The few companies that could meet our coverage requirements quoted prices three to four times higher than what NIA offered. NIA stands out not only for its comprehensive coverage but also for its cost-effectiveness and exceptional support for nonprofits like ours.”
— Douglas Greene, Executive Director & Founder
Reggie McKenzie Foundation (Southfield, MI)
“The cost of insuring our nonprofit organization, including essential components such as general liability, student accident coverage, and Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance, exceeded what our budget could accommodate.
NIA offered, at a reasonable cost, the coverages that are essential to our organization.”
— Kyle McKenzie, Executive Director
Eagle Rock Camp (Conover, NC)
“NIA was there when we needed you most! Our previous carrier dropped our policy, through no fault of our own, and with zero notice.
It took us several months to find NIA, and we are so grateful that we did. NIA now covers all of our insurance needs, and the risk management resources are invaluable!”
— Lynn Marilla, Founder & CEO
Mid-Valley Productions (Albany, OR)
“When we started searching for insurance of our own, we approached a few companies, and their rates were prohibitively high — and one declined to insure us at all because we were a new company.
NIA saved the day and have been a dream to work with.”
— Erah K. McMullen, President & Creative Director
