Nonprofit & Charity Insurance Designed to Protect Your Mission
Customized insurance solutions that help nonprofit organizations, charities, foundations, and community groups focus on making an impact—not managing risk.
Nonprofit & Charity Insurance
Nonprofit organizations face many of the same risks as for-profit businesses, but often with tighter budgets, volunteer-driven operations, fundraising responsibilities, and unique governance challenges.

What Charity Insurance Covers
General Liability Insurance
General liability insurance helps protect your organization from claims involving bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury. If a visitor is injured at your facility, a volunteer causes property damage during an event, or your organization faces a third-party liability claim, general liability coverage can help cover legal expenses, settlements, and damages.
Because many nonprofits regularly host events, interact with the public, and operate community programs, general liability insurance often serves as the foundation of a comprehensive insurance program.
Property Insurance
Whether your nonprofit owns a building, leases office space, operates a community center, or manages donated assets, property insurance helps protect physical assets from covered losses such as fire, theft, vandalism, and severe weather.
Coverage can often be customized to include buildings, office equipment, computers, furniture, educational materials, donated inventory, and other property essential to your operation.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Many nonprofits collect and store sensitive information, including donor records, payment information, volunteer data, employee information, and financial records. Cyberattacks, ransomware incidents, and data breaches can have serious financial and reputational consequences.
Cyber liability insurance helps organizations respond to these incidents by providing resources for data recovery, notification costs, legal expenses, public relations efforts, and regulatory compliance.
Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance
Board members, officers, and executive leaders make important decisions that shape the future of the organization. D&O insurance helps protect leadership from claims alleging mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty, financial oversight issues, governance concerns, or other leadership-related decisions.
Many nonprofits struggle to recruit and retain qualified board members without D&O coverage in place. This protection helps provide confidence that leadership can make decisions in the best interest of the organization without unnecessary personal financial risk.
Volunteer & Employee Protection
Volunteers are often the lifeblood of nonprofit organizations. Depending on your operations, additional coverage may be available to help address volunteer-related exposures, employee injuries, workplace incidents, and operational liability concerns.
York Insurance Agency works with nonprofits to identify potential exposures involving both paid staff and volunteers, helping create a safer and more secure operating environment.
Special Event Coverage
Fundraisers, galas, charity runs, auctions, community festivals, and public events often create unique liability exposures. Special event insurance can provide protection against claims arising from injuries, property damage, or event-related incidents.
For organizations that rely heavily on fundraising events, this coverage can be a valuable addition to an overall nonprofit insurance strategy.
