Nonprofits Insurance Alliance of California (NIAC) provides liability insurance to 501(c)(3) nonprofits in California. Founded in 1989, NIAC is the first member company of what became Nonprofits Insurance Alliance (NIA).
NIAC is a liability insurance pool, which allows nonprofits to insure themselves, a concept that was originally proposed in a master’s thesis by NIA President, Founder, and CEO Pamela Davis.
In the beginning, NIAC was funded with $1.3 million in loans provided by The Ford Foundation, The Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, The San Francisco Foundation, The Marin County Foundation, and The Walter S. Johnson Foundation.
