Canada’s nonprofit and charity sector is the second largest in the world and is an important economic driver employing over 10% of the Canadian workforce. Nonprofit and voluntary organizations receive funding through fee income, government support and philanthropy. At Axis we have cultivated and nurtured a robust affinity to this energetic and spirited sector of the Canadian economic landscape.
We are proud to work with many of Canada’s leading Charities, Foundations, Associations, Affinity Groups, Clubs and other Nonprofit Organizations working in the following areas:
- Religion and Faith Related
- Sports and Recreation
- Arts, Culture & Festivals
- Development and Housing
- Education and Research
- Professional Associations and Unions
- Health and Welfare
- Social Services
- Environmental
- Science and Technology
- Law and Advocacy
- International Development
Every nonprofit organization is unique in the work and services they undertake, its risks and exposures to loss, and of course, its insurance decisions. At Axis we tailor coverage to the organizations needs; we analyze exposures and risk management procedures and work together with our clients to determine the best insurance coverage options. We create policies that are affordable and provide the right insurance coverage with experienced and professional insurers. There is no one-size fits all solution but an insurance program will typically comprise some or all of the following policies:
- Property Insurance and Business Interruption
- General Liability
- Directors’ & Officers’ Liability
- Employment Practices Liability (typically included in the D&O policy)
- Crime Insurance
- Fiduciary Liability
- Reputational Harm
These are just the most common types of insurance policies. The diversity and complexity of our nonprofit clients requires a highly analytical approach and the adoption of many specialized policies, converge amendments and enhancements to ensure a robust program is in place to protect the organization, it directors, executives, employees and volunteers.
Our organization has been working with Axis for the past 5 years. At the time, the Legion in BC and Yukon was made up of 152 branch locations all with individual insurance packages. Axis worked with our umbrella organization and our branches to assemble them all into a high quality state of the art insurance program. Our nonprofit organization is now collectively insured and has customized coverage that serves our members and branches exceptionally well. The negotiation clout and expertise provided by Axis is second only to their ability to handle complex administration in a challenging environment.
