If you are involved in a nonprofit organization you are in good company. There are approximately a million and a half nonprofits operating within the United States. And that number is consistently rising. 

Your group and other nonprofits deal with specific needs – some of which the standard insurance market can not sufficiently cover.

Specialty insurance for the nonprofit organization can incorporate an all-inclusive package that includes the following forms of coverage as needed:

• Property Insurance
  
  
• General Liability Insurance
  
  
• Professional Liability Insurance
  
  
• Abuse and Molestation Insurance
  
  
• Workers Comp insurance
  
  
• Accident Insurance
  
  
• Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
  
  
• Employment Practices Insurance
  
  
• Special Events Insurance

• A wealthy businessman donated a large amount of money towards a school scholarship fund.
