General liability Coverage

Risk Factors

A general liability policy insures your nonprofit organization against classic slip-and-fall scenarios. (It’s sometimes also called a “commercial general liability” or “CGL” policy.)

Solution

Your nonprofit will be covered for damages that it’s ordered to pay to someone (such as a visitor, customer, supplier, or associate) who is injured on the organization’s property.

Product liability Coverage

Risk Factors

If your nonprofit sells products to the public — for example, you raise funds by selling baked goods, or your artist-clients create and sell sculptures out of recycled products, consider buying product liability insurance.

Solution

It will protect your organization from lawsuits by customers claiming they were hurt by an unsafe or defective product you provided. For example, if a customer breaks a tooth on a walnut shell baked into your cookie or slices a hand on a sharp-edged sculpture, this insurance will cover the legal defence and a sizable portion of the damages.

Directors & Officers liability Coverage

Risk Factors

Your non-profit’s board of directors and officers (many of whom are volunteers) could be personally named in a lawsuit against your nonprofit alleging fraud or financial mismanagement.

Solution

You’d want directors and officers (D&O) insurance to cover the cost of defending the directors and officers and pay any resulting money damages.

Professional liability Coverage

Risk Factors

Similar to D&O coverage, professional liability coverage (also sometimes called “errors and omissions” or “malpractice” insurance) protect against liabilities resulting from mismanagement of the organization, as well as workplace-related claims such as discrimination or sexual harassment.

Solution

It can help cover not only directors and officers but also staff, volunteers, and the nonprofit organization itself.

Workers’ Compensation insurance Coverage

Risk Factors

General liability will not provide coverage for injuries to employees. These coverages are important because they address injuries to your human assets – your employees and your volunteer workforce.

Solution

Workers’ compensation pays medical expenses, disability, and death benefits for injured workers. Volunteer accident insurance pays for minor injuries to volunteers who are donating their time and expertise to your cause

Insurance Solutions for Nonprofit Organizations in Illinois

Nonprofits and their leaders shoulder daily responsibilities, from managing budgets to engaging volunteers and donors while fulfilling their mission. However, many nonprofits, focused on their cause, may need to recognize and protect against risks that could leave them and their board members vulnerable.

Like any other business, nonprofit organizations face risks related to employees, board members, data, or fraud. Claims and litigation threats can come from vendors, donors, competitors, employees, and even government regulators. In fact, nonprofit organizations file twice as many Directors and Officers (D&O) claims as public and private companies. Moreover, 85% of these claims are employment-related, and nonprofits are also at significant risk of data breaches due to the sensitive information they maintain, including donor financial files, employee records, and client data.

  • Religious organizations (e.g., churches)
