Why do Not-for-Profit & Charities need insurance?

You might be running a not-for-profit, but that doesn’t mean you can afford for your organisation to run at a loss either. Even with all the good your organisation may do, there is a very real possibility of something going wrong, be it allegations of mismanagement or that you caused bodily injury or property damage to a third party. Some of these unfortunate incidents could be enough to cause significant financial detriment to your organisation. Having the right insurance in place should therefore be a key consideration to help ensure you can keep your focus on fundraising efforts.

Why choose Aon for Not-for-Profit & Charities Insurance?

When it comes to insurance for your not-for-profit organisation, there are a number of options available to you, and you may or may not need more than one. We understand it can be confusing, and there are a lot of pieces to put together. So as part of our commitment to making insurance easy to understand, buy and manage, we’ve developed the NFP Insurance Puzzle Helper to help you identify what insurance you may need, what you may not need, and most importantly, why.

Not-for-profit Cyber Insurance

Cyber insurance includes cover for financial loss you suffer as a result of a cyber attack. This can include phishing, malware and ransomware. Cyber risk is an exposure that no modern business can escape, and the financial impact of system interruption, privacy and cybercrime events are now felt within all industries. 1

As a Not-for-profit organisation, you may store a lot of personal information on your systems. A cyber attack on your organisation may result in unauthorised release of that information. Standard insurance cover such as Public Liability and Professional Indemnity may not protect you in the event of a cyber attack, and as such the financial implications for your organisation could be very significant.

In response, Aon has worked with our cyber risk experts to develop a competitively priced insurance cover that helps protect your Not-for-profit.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some commonly asked questions by NFPs & Charities.
Why might I need Cyber Insurance?
As a not-for-profit organisation, your relationship with your donors is based on trust – you receive donations because your donors trust you will use their money towards the right cause. If your donors feel that they can’t trust you with their personal information, they might not trust you with their money. You might store personal information digitally, or have a payment processing system to accept donations or offer ticketing online. All of these digital systems could be vulnerable to cyber-attacks. If your organisation’s computer system was hacked, access could be gained to private information such as the addresses, emails, bank account numbers, and credit card details of your donors. Even if you feel the data you hold isn’t highly sensitive (for example, if you don’t hold credit card details), it’s not necessarily about the data being useful to the hacker, but how the data and records are useful to your organisation, and whether you could function without them.
What insurance might I need for fundraising events?
If you’re holding a fundraiser event, there are a few insurances you may need to consider. Public and Products Liability insurance would be one of the most important ones, but in addition to taking this out for your organisation, you’ll also need to ensure any stallholders such as ride operators and food stalls have their own Public Liability insurance in place. If your event will have volunteers, then you may also need to consider Volunteer Workers’ Personal Accident insurance. 
If you’re unsure of the insurance you need for your event, Aon’s NFP Insurance Puzzle Helper can help you decide. You can also speak to a member of Aon’s Not-For-Profit team by calling 1800 123 266.
How do I make a claim?
You will find details of how to make a claim in the policy wording you receive from us. However, we also appreciate that having to make a claim can be a stressful time which is why as your advocate we are always on hand to help with any questions.
