Despite popular belief, non-profit organizations need insurance just as much, if not more, than for-profit organizations. Non-profits are in dire need of directors and officers liability insurance. Everyone involved in non-profits are vulnerable against claims of mismanagement, as there are less regulations and restrictions surrounding the business operations of non-profits.
Directors and officers liability insurance is a vital insurance policy that protects insured parties from claims of wrongful acts. Many non-profit organizations are involved in lawsuits where someone is claiming that the organization performed some wrongful act, financial mismanagement, mistake or error in judgment, or an act of negligence. A directors and officers liability insurance policy would provide the organization with legal defense and indemnification coverage. Claims of wrongful doings by a non-profit may include the following:
- Conflict of interest
- Torts
- Violation of provisions or statue
- Fraudulent work or statements
- Breach of contract
- Wasteful use of assets
- Inaccurate administration actions
- False statements
- Hiding misleading information
- Failing to attend meetings
- Failing to appropriately examine reports
- Failure to read a contract before authorizing
- Failure to file the annual report
