Nonprofit Event & Volunteer Insurance for Active Programs
Coverage that helps protect your events, volunteers, and participants when your mission brings people together.
Insurance for the Moments That Matter Most
Fundraisers, community programs, outreach events, and volunteer activities are at the heart of nonprofit work. These moments also carry risk—crowds gather, activities increase, and things don’t always go as planned. Nonprofit event insurance helps address liability tied to special events, while volunteer and participant coverage supports the people who make your mission possible.
Special Event Insurance for Nonprofits
Special event insurance is designed to cover incidents that occur during nonprofit-hosted events, whether they last one day or span several weeks.
Event Liability
Responds if an attendee is injured or property is damaged during a fundraiser, gala, festival, or community event.
Venue Requirements
Helps meet insurance requirements set by venues, municipalities, or sponsors, often including additional insured certificates.
One-Time or Short-Term Coverage
Ideal for annual fundraisers, charity runs, auctions, or pop-up events that fall outside everyday operations.
Some events—such as those serving alcohol or drawing large crowds—may require separate policies or specific endorsements. Coverage can be structured accordingly.

Volunteer and Participant Accident Coverage
Volunteers are essential to nonprofits, but injuries can happen even during routine activities. Participant and volunteer accident coverage provides no-fault medical benefits if a volunteer or program participant is injured while supporting your organization.
- Covers medical expenses regardless of fault
- Helps support injured volunteers or participants quickly
- May reduce the likelihood of liability claims
This coverage is especially valuable because injuries to volunteers are not always addressed by general liability policies.
Common Scenarios We See
Event and volunteer coverage helps manage these situations without placing financial strain on your organization.
Even carefully planned events and volunteer activities can involve unexpected risks. Event and volunteer coverage helps protect your organization from liability and meet insurance requirements without disrupting your mission.

Filling Coverage Gaps Before They Become Problems
Nonprofit event and volunteer insurance works best when coordinated with existing policies. Volunteer activities may need to be specifically included, and large or unique events often require temporary coverage beyond standard programs. Guidance focuses on choosing the most cost-effective structure—whether extending existing policies or placing separate event coverage—so protection stays aligned with how your nonprofit operates.
Supporting Confident Planning and Participation
Knowing your events and volunteers are protected allows your team to focus on planning, fundraising, and community impact. Coverage can be arranged for single events, seasonal programs, or ongoing volunteer activities, adjusting as your calendar evolves.
