Commercial Insurance for Nonprofits & Associations
Your mission runs on trust. Your coverage should protect it.
For a nonprofit, association, or foundation, the biggest risk on the books is rarely a fire. It is a claim against your board’s decisions, an employment dispute, or a breach of the donor and member data you hold. As an independent agency representing 100+ carriers, we size your coverage to how your organization actually operates, coordinate it with your staff’s benefits, and make sure it pays when it counts. People over policies, since 2007.
Around the DMV that usually means directors and officers (D&O) liability to protect your board, employment practices coverage, general liability and property for your office, programs, and events, cyber liability for the data you steward, workers compensation, and a benefits package strong enough to keep the people your mission depends on. We build it around your organization and revisit it before every renewal, not after a problem.

Serving the DMV · Since 2007.
What it covers, plainly
A nonprofit’s coverage is really several policies working together.
Directors & Officers (D&O)
Protects your board and leadership from claims over decisions, governance, and management. Many board members require it before they will serve.
Employment Practices (EPLI)
Discrimination, harassment, and wrongful-termination claims from staff or volunteers, one of the most common nonprofit claims.
General Liability & Property
Third-party injury, event and program liability, plus your office, equipment, and contents.
Cyber Liability
Donor, member, and grant data is sensitive. Covers breach response, notification, and the liability that follows.
Workers Compensation
Required in Maryland, Virginia, and DC once you have employees. Covers work-related injury and lost wages regardless of fault.
Umbrella & Group Benefits
Extra liability limits for events and programs, plus the benefits that help a mission-driven employer keep good people.

How we work
What a commercial advisor should actually do.
Your advisor
A named human, not a 1-800 number.
You get one advisor who learns your operation, knows your team, and remembers what happened at the last renewal. Same person at year five as at year one.
Proactive reviews
We call before renewal, not after a problem.
Annual proactive reviews. Quarterly check-ins for fast-growth clients. If you opened a new location, hired your fiftieth employee, or signed a major contract, we want to know before your policy does.
Carrier breadth
Independent access to diverse markets.
We're not tied to one carrier's appetite. Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Hartford, Cincinnati, Chubb, and dozens of other standard and specialty markets, we shop where your risk profile actually fits.
One roof
Commercial, benefits, and personal - coordinated.
Your business coverage, your team's benefits, and your personal insurance can all live under one advisory relationship. No more retelling your story to three different people.
Growing Fast?
Your business grows. Your coverage should keep up.
A broker who just renews your policy is fine, right up until it isn't. When you add a location, a truck, or fifteen employees and nobody updates your coverage. When a renewal comes back 22% higher with no explanation. When a claim lands and you need someone who already knows your operation. That's when a renew-and-forget broker costs you.
You need a named advisor who learns how your business actually runs, anticipates the risks before they find you, and makes sure your coverage evolves as fast as you do. We're independently owned, so your account team doesn't get shuffled after the next private-equity acquisition. The same advisor stays with you as you grow.
