Directors and Officers and Employment Practices Liability for Non Profit Organizations

 
 As a Director or Officer of a Non-Profit Organization, you are NOT immune to liability! Immunity does not prevent a lawsuit from being filed, and it generally applies only to volunteers—not to paid employees, directors, officers, or the organization itself. In fact, more than 90% of claims against nonprofit organizations are employment-related. Employment laws apply equally to nonprofits and for-profit entities, making it critical for nonprofits to secure proper protection.
 

Comprehensive D&O and EPLI Coverage for Nonprofits

Capitol Special Risks offers a specialized Directors and Officers (D&O) and Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) program tailored specifically for nonprofit organizations. As a wholesale broker with access to multiple carriers and all available markets, we help agents and brokers place nonprofit accounts that require expert handling and broad protection against leadership and employment-related exposures.

Ideal Accounts and Appetite

This program is designed for a wide range of nonprofit organizations, including but not limited to:

  • Charitable foundations
  • Educational nonprofits
  • Arts and cultural organizations
  • Religious and faith-based groups
  • Community service organizations

You might have a client who runs a regional nonprofit offering after-school education programs. This program can help protect their board members and executive staff from personal liability while also covering employment-related risks such as wrongful termination or discrimination claims by employees or volunteers.

Our nonprofit D&O and EPLI package includes a wide range of valuable features:

  • Separate limits of liability for D&O and EPLI
  • Defense costs paid outside the limit of liability
  • Punitive damages coverage, where permitted by law
