Customized Insurance for Nonprofit Organizations in San Diego, CA

In the world of nonprofit organizations, insurance policy requirements can be very distinctive. H&M specializes in providing tailored coverages addressing the unique needs of 501(c)(3). We understand that charitable organizations, foundations, and advocacy groups face specific challenges and risks which are very different from the ones traditional businesses are facing.

Our agents consult with you to have a clear understanding of your nonprofits’ assets, operations and potential liabilities. Using this acquired knowledge, we assemble customized policies that safeguard every aspect of your organization. You can rest assured that your nonprofit is well-guarded while you focus on making a positive impact within the community.

Nonprofit insurance safeguards from potential claims or litigation threats from vendors, employees, donors, competitors. As every organization has its own specific requirements, coverage has to be comprehensive enough to cover all possible risks. Our agents will build a policy suitable for your establishment.

Many 501(c)(3) organizations opt to start with Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) to protect them from claims and risks. This policy includes three essential coverages:

• General liability insurance to help cover third-party claims such as bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage.
• Commercial property insurance to safeguard the property, including equipment, tools and inventory you used to manage your nonprofit.

To further customize your package, we offer various additional protections such as:

• Commercial auto insurance – includes coverage for bodily injury or property damage caused by personal vehicles or agency-owned autos driven by employees and volunteers.
• Cyber liability – covers a range of issues: privacy breach, intellectual property infringement, virus transmission, and other web/email-spread issues.
• Workers’ compensation – covers volunteers if their work causes illness or injuries.
• Special events – If your organization hosts fundraising events, purchasing a special events policy to reduce liability is essential. It covers claims for bodily injury or property damage.
• Directors & Officers (D&O) – This policy includes protection against the claims for damages incurred by illegal actions of the directors, trustees, officers, and managers as well as for the agency. Furthermore, directors & officers insurance policy is intended to cover other employment-related acts, like harassment allegations, unjust termination and discrimination.
• Errors & Omissions insurance – E&O insurance safeguards nonprofit organizations against claims for negligence, inadequacy, and related arguments.
• Commercial umbrella insurance can supplement your general liability policy, employer’s liability insurance or commercial auto. It provides extra coverage for the amounts that exceed the primary limits.

Who Needs Nonprofit Coverage?

Nonprofit organizations (NPO) face the same potential risks as any other business. According to Towers Watson Directors & Officers Liability Survey, D&C claims by nonprofits are double of what public or private organizations file. Besides employment-related claims, each 501(c)(3) body is at risk of cyber attacks and data loss, as they compile and maintain huge amounts of data like employee records, financial data, and volunteer information. Furthermore, any NPO with virtual presence which collects donations via the Internet is at high risk for cybercrime or negligence.

In conclusion, every type of nonprofit institution needs to have proper coverage in order to protect its mission, its purpose, its assets, and its people. Some of the following organizations should purchase adequate insurance include:
