Directors and Officer's Insurance for Delaware Nonprofits
The DANA Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance Program features insurance provided by Executive Risk Indemnity and is being sold through Gorges & Company, Incorporated. Coverage is only available to qualified 501 (c) nonprofit members of DANA.
THE DANA D & O PROGRAM
Standard Coverage: The DANA D&O Program provides limits beginning at $1 million and deductibles as low as $500 for premiums starting at $1000. The plan has been carefully reviewed to assure that it contains the best features available in the D&O market. Special features include:
- Coverage for Staff, Volunteers, and Committee Members: Many D&O policies only provide coverage for the Directors and Officers. But the DANA D&O Program also provides coverage for all employees, volunteers, and committee members working for your organization.
- Coverage for Your Organization: Many D&O policies only provide coverage for individual people, and don't provide any coverage for your organization. The DANA D&O Program also provides Association Coverage ("entity" coverage) to protect your organization. Coverage is provided for claims brought against your organization. This coverage may not be available under your general liability policy or under a traditional D&O policy.
- Coverage for Employment Practices: Many D&O policies provide no coverage for employment discrimination, wrongful termination or other claims involving your employment practices. Yet these are the most likely subjects raised in suits against your organization and your board; over 70% of lawsuits brought against nonprofits are related to employment practices. The DANA D&O Program specifically covers employment practices.
