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
