A Partner You Can Trust

Need for SC Nonprofit Insurance Protection

The South Carolina Department of Insurance mandates specific coverage requirements for nonprofits operating in our state.

Our licensed independent insurance agents work directly with nonprofit boards and directors to build insurance packages that meet both state regulations and organizational needs.

We start by looking at your nonprofit’s specific activities, assets, and risks. Then we create a protection plan that fits your budget without leaving gaps in coverage.

Getting The Right Coverage

Core Insurance Coverage for South Carolina Nonprofits

Every nonprofit requires essential insurance coverage. Let’s explore the key types of protection necessary for nonprofits in South Carolina.

General Liability Insurance in South Carolina

General Liability Insurance policy protects your non profit from third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury that occur during your operations.

This coverage pays for medical expenses, legal defense, and settlements if someone gets hurt on your property or during your events.

For South Carolina nonprofits, this protection extends to off-site activities, fundraisers, and volunteer events.

If a visitor slips at your facility or your organization accidentally damages someone’s property during an event, general liability coverage responds to these claims and helps maintain your organization’s financial stability.

Commercial auto insurance

Business auto insurance protects vehicles used for your organization’s work. This coverage pays for accidents, damage, and liability claims involving your business vehicles.

The policy covers cars, vans, and trucks your organization owns or uses. It pays for repairs after crashes, covers medical bills if someone gets hurt, and handles legal costs from auto accidents.

Commercial auto policies protect your non-profits from vehicle-related risks that personal auto insurance won’t cover.

Workers' Compensation Insurance

Workers comp is a crucial part of your nonprofit insurance portfolio. It protects your employees, providing medical benefits and wage replacement for those injured on the job. South Carolina law mandates this coverage for nonprofits with four or more employees.

Our coverage helps pay for medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, and lost income while protecting your organization from lawsuits related to workplace injuries.

We include volunteer accident coverage options to protect both paid staff and unpaid helpers. The policy covers work-related injuries and illnesses occurring at your location, during events, or while conducting business off-site.

Commercial Property Insurance

Commercial property insurance can help safeguard your nonprofit’s physical assets against loss or damage from fires, storms, theft, and vandalism. This protection extends to buildings, furniture, equipment, supplies, and inventory your organization owns.

You need specific protection against hurricane and flood damage, which standard policies might exclude. Our coverage accounts for replacement costs rather than depreciated values, helping you restore operations quickly after a loss.

We also include coverage for temporary relocation expenses if damage to your facility forces a temporary move.

Directors & Officers Insurance

Directors and Officers Insurance shields your board members, officers, and organization from lawsuits related to management decisions, policy setting, and financial oversight.

This insurance covers legal defense costs and settlements if someone sues you over certain issues as misuse of funds, unfair allocation of resources, or violation of bylaws.

For South Carolina nonprofits, D&O insurance helps recruit and retain qualified board members by protecting their personal assets. It extends to past, present, and future directors and officers, ensuring continuous protection as leadership changes.

Employment Practices Liability

EPLI protects your nonprofit against claims of wrongful employment practices, including discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and retaliation.

It helps pay for legal defense costs and settlements arising from employment-related lawsuits. If you have employees and volunteers, you need this protection to handle claims of unfair treatment or hostile work environment.

The coverage extends to full-time staff, part-time workers, volunteers, and even job applicants who might file a lawsuit against your organization.

Additional Coverages To investigate

Special Non-Profit Insurance Options

Nonprofit organizations encounter a range of risks unique to their missions.

For example, the insurance requirements of a food bank differ significantly from those of a youth mentoring program.

Let’s explore specialized insurance solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of your organization.

Cyber Liability Insurance

Cyber Liability Protection guards your nonprofit against data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other digital threats. This coverage helps pay for breach notification costs, credit monitoring for affected parties, and system restoration after an attack.

For nonprofits handling donor information, financial data, or sensitive records, this protection proves crucial. The coverage includes both first-party costs you incur and third-party claims from individuals affected by a data breach.

We include protection for social engineering fraud and cybercrime-related financial losses.

Business Interruption Insurance

Business Income Insurance protects your nonprofit’s financial stability when operations halt due to covered property damage. If a fire, storm, or other disaster forces you to temporarily close, this coverage caters to the needs of your organization, replacing lost revenue and paying ongoing expenses.

The policy covers payroll costs, rent, utilities, and other fixed expenses during the recovery period. For nonprofits relying on regular income from thrift stores, program fees, or social enterprises, this protection maintains financial stability.

We calculate coverage based on your organization’s actual income patterns and expense obligations to ensure adequate protection during interruptions.

Special Event Insurance

Special Event Coverage protects your nonprofit during fundraisers, galas, conferences, and other temporary activities. This coverage fills gaps that might exist in your standard policies when hosting special events.

For South Carolina nonprofits, we include protection against weather-related cancellations, liability for event venues, and coverage for rented equipment.

The policy can extend to food service liability, alcohol-related incidents if serving beverages, and participant injury during activities.

An Agency That Values Your Mission

The Allen Thomas Group Difference

As your nonprofit grows, we adjust and scale your coverage to match your expanding needs.

Throughout our relationship, we simplify insurance decisions by presenting clear options and recommendations based on your specific situation.

Insurance Carriers and Coverage Options

We partner with top-rated insurers that specialize in nonprofit insurance.

This network gives us options to find the right mix of protection and price for your organization. Our independent status means we work for you, not insurance companies.

Your nonprofit’s insurance costs depend on several key factors that we carefully evaluate.

The size of your organization and its operating budget play a central role in determining appropriate coverage levels. We examine the types of services you provide to understand specific risk exposures.

The number of employees and volunteers in your organization helps us determine appropriate liability coverage levels.

What affects your coverage needs is whether the property is owned or leased. Your location within South Carolina matters, as different areas face different risk levels. We also review any claims history to help secure the most competitive rates for your organization.

Understanding Your Nonprofit’s Risks

The unique mission of your South Carolina nonprofit directly shapes your insurance requirements.

A food bank managing perishable donations and food safety needs robust property coverage and protection against spoilage.

An advocacy group focusing on policy change requires strong directors and officers coverage to protect against legal challenges.

Educational foundations need professional liability coverage for their teaching activities and protection for student safety.

Our risk assessment looks at your specific operations and activities.

A nonprofit running multiple homeless shelters requires broader property coverage than one operating from a single office.

Organizations providing medical services or counseling need specialized coverage that food pantries might not.

Youth programs require background check protocols and abuse prevention coverage, while senior service organizations focus more on slip-and-fall prevention and transportation safety.

Your funding sources also affect coverage needs. Grant-funded programs often have specific insurance requirements from donors.

Organizations charging fees for services need liability protection different from those providing free assistance.

Nonprofits with government contracts face strict compliance requirements for insurance.

The scale of your volunteer program impacts your risk profile. Large volunteer operations need comprehensive accident coverage and liability protection.

Small organizations with few volunteers might focus on professional liability for their core staff. Each volunteer role brings distinct risks – from drivers delivering meals to counselors working with clients.

Operational Activities

The day-to-day work your nonprofit does influences coverage requirements.

Teaching children requires different protection than running a thrift store or managing a homeless shelter.

Physical Locations

Whether you own or rent space impacts your property coverage needs.

Multiple locations may need additional protection compared to single-site operations.

Staff Structure

The mix of employees and volunteers affects workers’ compensation and liability requirements.

We help you protect everyone who helps fulfill your mission.

Budget Constraints

Nonprofits must balance protection with costs.

We find coverage that fits your financial reality without compromising on essential safeguards.
