Non-Profit Insurance in Chicago, IL

Non-profit directors and officers liability policies protect an organization’s directors and officers against claims alleging negligence or wrongful acts in the governance and management of the non-profit organization. Because an organization is not run “for profit” does not mean it can avoid its responsibilities to its employees or the beneficiaries of the organization.

For those who want protection beyond the policies in place for the directors and officers of an organization personal directors liability insurance policies are written to cover the specific profit and not-for-profit boards on which an individual director serves. The premiums are calculated based upon the size of the organization and policies are customized for the exposures of the individual directors.

Just like businesses protect their assets with insurance, nonprofits should do the same. Non-profit organizations are all unique in their operations. While some work to preserve wildlife, others care for the elderly. What if a sudden fire burned down your headquarters? What would happen to the people, animals or environments your nonprofit serves?
