Do nonprofits in Edmonton need insurance?
Like any business, having proper insurance is essential to being able to operate your organization. While the work being done in your communities is greatly appreciated, unfortunately non-profit organizations are not immune to lawsuits due to injuries, allegations of negligence and property damage. They also aren’t immune to potentially losing assets to fires, floods and storms. The expenses and fees of these types of incidents can quickly pile up which puts your organization at risk. Luckily, our non-profit insurance brokers are here to help you.
What type of insurance do nonprofit organizations need in Edmonton?
The insurance needs of your organization will differ from others, but some key types of coverage include:
- Commercial General Liability – covers injuries and potential legal expenses caused by negligent acts by yourself or an employee.
- Commercial Property Insurance – protects your organizations physical assets that include owned buildings, equipment, tools, inventory, materials and more.
- Commercial Auto Insurance – it is mandatory for all vehicles in Alberta to have insurance. When being used for work purposes the coverage must include third-party liability, which helps cover your expenses if you or an employee is an accident that causes property damage or injuries to another person.
- Professional Liability – also known as errors and omissions – covers a mistake or negligent service that results in a third-party loss without property damage or bodily injury.
- Director and Officers Liability Insurance – protects your organization if it is faced with legal action for alleged wrongful acts that can include misrepresentation of finances, defamation and employee allegations.
- Event Liability Insurance – this protection can help cover damages or injuries caused by guests and employees at an event. It is often required by venues.
- Crime Insurance – this coverage isn’t usually part of a normal policy, and it protects you from crime that is related to running your business. It includes fraud, misrepresentation, theft and other crimes.
