General Liability Insurance

The foundation of your nonprofit’s protection

Every nonprofit faces risks—whether it’s a visitor slipping at your office, a volunteer accidentally damaging property, or a participant injured during a program.
Even small accidents can lead to big expenses.

What General Liability Insurance covers

This essential policy protects your nonprofit from claims involving third-party injury or property damage caused by your operations, employees, or volunteers.

General Liability Insurance from NonProfit Insuror South is the foundation of your organization’s protection plan. It helps cover the costs of bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury claims—so your nonprofit can focus on serving the community, not managing lawsuits.

General Liability protects your organization whether the claim is valid or not—because even false allegations can be expensive to defend.

Typical allegations include:
  • Bodily Injury – Medical costs for clients, visitors, or vendors injured on your premises or at an event
  • Property Damage – Repairs or replacement if your nonprofit accidentally damages someone else’s property
  • Personal & Advertising Injury – Libel, slander, or copyright claims related to your communications or promotions
  • Medical Payments – Limited no-fault coverage for minor injuries to guests or participants
  • Products & Completed Operations – Liability from goods sold or services provided
  • Legal Defense & Court Costs – Coverage for lawsuits, settlements, and attorney fees

Why nonprofits need this coverage

Your nonprofit interacts with people, facilities, and partners every day. From fundraising events to counseling sessions, you can’t control every outcome—but you can prepare for them. Funders, landlords, and event venues often require proof of General Liability Insurance before signing contracts or issuing grants. Without General Liability coverage, your nonprofit could face one or more of the following.

Medical bills or settlements from injuries

Property repair costs

Lawsuits that drain your budget

Damaged community trust or lost funding
