Property/Business Interruption - Covers damage to physical premises and lost revenue after insured events like fire or storm.
Cyber Insurance - Protects against financial losses from cyber incidents like hacking and malware.
Volunteer Personal Accident - Covers volunteers for accidental injury or death while volunteering.
Protector/Association Liability - Provides compensation and legal defense for claims against management or the organisation.
Public Liability Insurance - Covers claims made against your NFP for injury or property damage to the public.
Benefits for NFPs and Volunteer Management
Insurance helps protect NFPs from financial hardship if something goes wrong.
Volunteer Personal Accident insurance covers accidental injuries or death.
Some contracts require NFPs to hold minimum insurance levels.
Proper insurance demonstrates responsible management and protects your image.
