Do nonprofits need insurance?

Yes. Nonprofits face the same liability, property, and employment risks as for-profit businesses. Directors and officers can be personally sued for management decisions, volunteers can be injured, and facilities can be damaged. Insurance protects the organization and its leadership.

What is Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance for nonprofits?

D&O insurance protects board members and executive staff from personal liability for decisions made in their organizational roles. Without it, board members can be personally sued for alleged mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty, or employment practices violations.

Are volunteers covered under nonprofit insurance?

Not automatically. Volunteer accident insurance specifically covers medical expenses for volunteers injured while performing volunteer activities. General liability may cover third-party claims caused by volunteers, but volunteers themselves need separate accident coverage.

Does a nonprofit need workers' compensation?

Yes, if you have paid employees. Oregon requires workers' compensation for all employers with employees. Volunteers are not employees and are not covered by workers' comp — that's why volunteer accident insurance is important.

What is special events coverage?

Special events coverage provides liability protection for fundraising events, galas, auctions, and other one-time events. It covers claims of bodily injury or property damage that occur during the event. Many venues require proof of event insurance before allowing you to book.

How can a nonprofit keep insurance costs down?

Nonprofits can often access preferred rates through nonprofit-specialized carriers. Maintaining good safety practices, having a formal volunteer management program, and working with an experienced agent like Gerald Ross Agency can help keep premiums competitive.
