Your Davis, CA Nonprofit And D&O Insurance: An Important Connection
As a nonprofit, you rely largely on volunteers. While the majority of your volunteers are likely serving on the ground, helping your work happen each and every day, you likely have a handful that are serving in a different capacity: on your board of directors and officers. They help your organization maintain is vision and effectiveness, but can also, unfortunately, be a liability.
So you can fully safeguard your organization, here is a look at your Davis, CA nonprofit and D&O insurance.
D&O insurance, or directors and officers insurance, is designed to protect your nonprofit against a breach of duty by its directors and officers. Most D&O policies offer coverage for “wrongful acts,” or wrong decisions made. The coverage usually includes actual and alleged misstatements, negligence, errors, omissions, and breaches of duty. Be advised that employment-based claims are the most common kind brought against directors and officers, so it is important to ensure your D&O policy contains this type of coverage.
