What Is Nonprofit Insurance?

Nonprofit insurance refers to a collection of policies designed to help protect charitable organizations from a variety of risks. These risks may involve property damage, allegations of negligence, employment-related claims, or injuries that occur during events or day-to-day operations. Depending on the size and scope of your Massachusetts nonprofit, insurance can be tailored to address concerns such as board member liability, employee practices, or volunteer involvement.

Because nonprofits operate differently than for-profit businesses, many require policies that consider limited budgets, volunteer staff, and mission-driven activities. Our team at Fitts Insurance takes time to learn about your organization so we can help you review available options and potential areas of risk.

Why Do Nonprofits in Massachusetts Need Liability Insurance?

Massachusetts nonprofits often interact directly with the public, host fundraising events, operate physical locations, or manage volunteers. These activities can expose organizations to claims of bodily injury, property damage, or professional missteps. Nonprofit liability insurance is one way to help safeguard your organization’s reputation and financial stability in the face of legal claims.

For example, if a guest slips at a fundraising event or a client alleges harm from a service you provided, liability coverage can assist with legal defense costs or settlements. Having this type of protection in place may also help your nonprofit qualify for certain grants or partnerships, which sometimes require proof of insurance.

  • What Types of Insurance Should Massachusetts Nonprofits Consider?

    Each nonprofit is different, but some of the most common insurance options Massachusetts nonprofits explore include:

    • General Liability Insurance: Can assist with claims involving bodily injury or property damage to third parties.
    • Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance: May help protect board members and officers from claims of wrongful acts or decisions made on behalf of the organization.
    • Professional Liability Insurance: Sometimes referred to as Errors & Omissions insurance, this can help cover claims of negligence related to professional services.
    • Workers’ Compensation Insurance: Required in Massachusetts if you have employees, this can assist with medical costs and lost wages if a staff member is injured on the job.
    • Commercial Property Insurance: Can help protect physical assets such as offices, equipment, and supplies.
    • Volunteer Accident Coverage: Designed to support your volunteers in case of injury during service.

     

    Our advisors at Fitts Insurance can help you review these options to identify what might fit your nonprofit’s specific structure and activities.

  • How Does Nonprofit Liability Insurance Work?

    Nonprofit liability insurance works similarly to commercial liability policies but often considers the nonprofit’s scope of operations. A general liability policy may help with costs related to bodily injury or property damage claims. Directors and Officers insurance can support legal defense expenses if a board member is sued for a decision made in their role.

    Liability policies typically have coverage limits, deductibles, and exclusions. Working with a knowledgeable insurance agency like Fitts Insurance can help you understand how the terms of a policy may or may not apply in certain situations.

  • What Factors Affect Insurance Costs for Massachusetts Nonprofits?

    Insurance premiums for nonprofits can vary based on several factors, such as:

    • Size and annual budget
    • Number of employees and volunteers
    • Type of services offered
    • Location and owned property
    • Claims history

     

    For instance, a large Massachusetts nonprofit with multiple locations and programs may have different insurance needs than a small community foundation operating in one town. Our team can help you gather the right information and review options with carriers that understand nonprofit operations.
