Brokers like you are the key to NIA’s mission.
Providing high-quality, affordable liability and property insurance coverage to 501(c)(3) organizations is the central purpose of Nonprofits Insurance Alliance (NIA) — but none of that would be possible without brokers like you.
So what does working with NIA mean for you?
When you partner with NIA to find the best coverages for your nonprofit clients, you get quick turnaround times, streamlined processes, and a dedicated, responsive team.
You get knowledgeable underwriters, with the expertise to answer any concerns regarding your clients’ unique operations.
And above all else, you get policies that are meticulously crafted to the specialized needs of your clients — so that they continue to renew.
Thank you, brokers.

Proactive claims handling.
NIA’s claims approach is to look for ways to cover claims within our policy, not for ways to decline them. If liability is clear when a claim is presented, NIA investigates to quantify the damages and pays the claim promptly.
If liability is uncertain, NIA investigates thoroughly and works to resolve the claim in a manner that is both conscientious and practical. NIA takes very seriously the trust nonprofits place in us to protect them.
