Nonprofits Insurance Alliance - 2018 NIA Annual Report

Natomas Arts and Education Foundation Sacramento, CA www.naef-ncs-ca.schoolloop.com “In 2014 our mission was threatened by a 6-month delay in grants. We were seriously worried that the critical services we offer to women, children and families–transitional housing, nutritious meals, sup- port for pregnant women, to name just a few—might have to be curtailed. For many, Grandma’s House of Hope is their only option. But NIAC’s loan fund came to the rescue with a loan that bridged the gap. They totally understood our situation and were terrific to work with. It was an absolute Godsend! It’s great to know that if this happens again, we have a ready resource for financial support. Thanks NIAC!” —Je’net Kreitner, Grandma’ s House of Hope “NIA has been wonderful to work with since 1998 for affordable nonprofit insurance policies, Human Resource advice and attorney representation. They are quick to respond to our inquiries, profes- sional in their management of our policies and we love the fact that they are a nonprofit supporting nonprofits!” —Kim Baenisch, Trips for Kids Marin “Thank you so much for all your assistance with this. As a nonprofit, largely dependent on volunteers to get things done, it is comforting to know that there are professionals out there that are working to help us keep doing what we love to do.” —Lisa Napier Garcia, Little Theatre Off Broadway “I was the founding director of Alzheimer’s Services of the East Bay and am on the board of DayBreak—both agencies are NIA members and I know we have always viewed NIA as more than an insurance company. NIA has been a resource for better operations. With my recent experience with NIA I can only say you all are outstanding in customer responsiveness and trying to help nonprofits operate better.” —Diane Wong , J-Sei “I’d just like to thank you for your help with our recent arbitration. In addition to your professionalism, your tenacity, subject knowledge, attention to detail, and personality were nothing less than outstanding. It is a comfort and a joy to know that we were paired with such an amazing individual. You are a credit both to yourself and the Nonprofits Insurance Alliance.” —Theydon Green, VIP & Associates, Inc. “Thank you for an absolutely wonderful presentation today. As a new member I am so excited to be working with this organization. It does feel like we will be working with a partner agency instead of a big insurance company that still does not understand what we do.” —Pat Ladner, Women and Families Center While we are proud that your companies are flourishing, it is not “making the numbers” that maintains our enthusiasm for serving the nonprofit sector. It is our privilege to be of service to those who are doing the really difficult work, day in and day out, usually with too few resources, to improve the quality of life in our communities. Ultimately, it is comments like those below that drive us to do our best for you. You I n s p i r e Us 24 A Cooperative of Nonprofits, for Nonprofits.
