Common questions about Charitable organizations

Answering the most frequently asked questions about Charitable organizations.

Does grant funding create obligations?2026-08-17T23:36:38-04:00

Grantors frequently require specific coverage and limits. Check the terms before accepting.

Are volunteers covered?2026-08-17T23:36:37-04:00

General liability usually covers claims against them; their own injuries typically aren’t covered by workers’ comp.

Are our fundraising events covered?2026-08-17T23:36:36-04:00

Not always, particularly off-site or alcohol-serving events. Special events cover fills the gap.

What’s our most likely insurance loss?2026-08-17T23:36:35-04:00

Employee dishonesty. Small teams handling donated funds with limited controls is the classic pattern.

Why do we need directors and officers coverage?2026-08-17T23:36:34-04:00

Board members can be sued personally. Volunteer status is not a defense, and many won’t serve without it.

    I have been using Semper insured Landland for some years now. Stu has been very helpful and responses fast to any questions you need answers too. Sara has contacted me when he was busy. He has gotten the best health insurance each year … More for my needs. It’s hard living on only my widows disability and he has helped get my health care insurance as my needs change and within my budget.

    We are so thrilled to be working with Adam. From the get-go, he took the time to understand our business's needs and worked closely (and tenaciously) to assemble an insurance package that met our unique needs. He's shown himself … More to be diligent, contentious, and a true advocate -- in many ways it feels like Adam's become an extension of my team. In the months we've been working together I've really come to trust Adam, and feel his partnership as an agent reflects a knowledge of our business and its mission and a genuine energy to strengthen and protect our operation.
