Nonprofit Insurance in Connecticut

At Lana Insurance Center, we understand that nonprofits play a vital role in Connecticut communities. From food banks and advocacy groups to educational foundations and arts organizations, your mission matters—and so does your protection. Our team works with a variety of nonprofit organizations to explore insurance solutions that align with your specific operations and risks.

What Is Nonprofit Insurance and Why Might Your Connecticut Organization Need It?

Nonprofit insurance typically refers to a portfolio of policies designed to help protect charitable and mission-driven organizations from financial loss due to accidents, legal claims, property damage, and other risks. Operating a nonprofit often involves activities like hosting events, managing volunteers, and renting or owning office space—all of which can come with liabilities.

Even though your nonprofit may not operate for profit, it still faces many of the same risks as for-profit businesses. Having a tailored insurance program may help support your mission by offering protection against potential disruptions or claims.

What Insurance Coverages Might Be Relevant for Connecticut Nonprofits?

Every nonprofit is different, and the types of coverage that make sense for one organization may not be a fit for another. Common insurance options that nonprofits often explore include:

• General Liability Insurance – May help with claims involving third-party bodily injury or property damage, such as a visitor slipping at your office.
• Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance – Often considered by nonprofits with boards or leadership teams, this coverage may help defend against claims of mismanagement or wrongful acts in governance.
• Professional Liability Insurance – Sometimes referred to as “errors and omissions” coverage, this may be relevant for nonprofits offering advisory, educational, or counseling services.
• Property Insurance – If your organization owns or leases space, this may help cover physical assets like buildings, equipment, or inventory.
• Workers’ Compensation – In Connecticut, most employers—including nonprofits—are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance for paid employees.
• Volunteer Accident Coverage – While not mandatory, some organizations opt for this type of coverage to provide limited medical reimbursement for active volunteers.
• Cyber Liability Insurance – For nonprofits handling donor information, online registrations, or medical data, this coverage may help with costs related to data breaches or cyberattacks.

At Lana Insurance Center, we’ll take the time to understand your nonprofit’s structure, activities, and exposure before recommending any options.

How Does Nonprofit Insurance Work in Connecticut?

In Connecticut, insurance for nonprofits works similarly to other forms of business insurance but is often tailored for the specific needs and budgets of charitable entities. Insurance carriers may take into account your organization’s size, annual revenue, number of employees and volunteers, and the types of services you provide.

It’s also important to note that many grant providers, landlords, and government agencies require proof of certain insurance policies as a condition of funding, leasing, or partnership. A custom-fit insurance package may support both your day-to-day operations and long-term sustainability.
