Nonprofit Insurance
Casper, Tooele, Vernal

Protecting the mission, people, and future of your nonprofit organization.

Running a nonprofit comes with unique challenges, from managing volunteers and protecting donor data to organizing fundraising events and keeping your board of directors safe from personal liability. At Leavitt Insurance Services of the Rockies we specialize in helping nonprofits secure the right insurance solutions to safeguard their mission.

Why Nonprofits Need Specialized Insurance

Nonprofits face risks that differ from typical businesses. Without proper coverage, a single claim could jeopardize your programs, funding, or even your nonprofit status. Common risks include:

Volunteer liability – injuries, accidents, or property damage caused by volunteers.

Fundraising & special events – event cancellations, injuries, or third-party claims.

Board liability – directors and officers being held personally responsible for decisions.

Cyber & data security – protecting sensitive donor or member information.

Abuse or misconduct allegations – particularly in youth or community service programs.

Property risks – damage to buildings, leased spaces, or equipment.

Types of Nonprofit Insurance Coverage

We design insurance programs tailored to the unique needs of 501(c)(3) and other nonprofit organizations. Coverage options include:

General Liability Insurance

Protects your nonprofit from third-party claims for bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury.

Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability

Safeguards your board and leadership team against lawsuits related to management decisions.

Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)

Covers claims of wrongful termination, harassment, or discrimination.

Volunteer Liability & Accident Coverage

Protects your nonprofit and your volunteers if accidents occur while serving.

Special Event Insurance

Covers fundraising events, galas, community programs, and event cancellations.

Cyber Liability Insurance

Helps protect against data breaches, ransomware, and donor information theft.

Property Insurance

Covers damage or loss to your office, building, equipment, or supplies.

Workers' Compensation

Provides benefits for employees injured on the job, as required by California law.

Specialized protection for nonprofits serving youth, seniors, or other vulnerable groups.

How Much Does Nonprofit Insurance Cost ?

The cost of nonprofit insurance depends on factors such as:

• Type of nonprofit and services offered
• Number of employees and volunteers
• Annual revenue and funding sources
• Event frequency and size
• Claims history
• Property owned or leased

On average, small nonprofits may pay $500 – $2,000 per year for general liability, while larger organizations with employees and multiple coverages may pay $5,000 – $15,000+ annually.

Compliance & Legal Requirements for Nonprofits

Many nonprofits are required by funders, landlords, or state regulations to carry certain types of insurance. Examples include:

Workers’ Compensation – required for nonprofits with employees.

General Liability – often required for grants, facility use, or partnerships.

D&O Insurance – may be required by certain funding sources or bylaws.

We’ll help ensure your nonprofit meets all legal and contractual insurance requirements.
