Creative lnsurance Solutions
NonProfits' United created the Vehicle Insurance Pool, the first ever of its kind self-insurance pool for nonprofits in California, in 1988. We duplicated this successful model in 2004 to create the Workers' Compensation Group.
Our member-owners are active in managing their own risk to keep losses (and premiums) at a minimum. Our goal is to help nonprofits preserve resources by reducing premiums and loss-related expenses so they can spend more of their agency's money directly on their mission.
NonProfits' United accepts applications from organizations directly and through brokers. We will work closely with you to ensure that all necessary steps are completed as quickly as possible.

Flexible payroll allocation
One of the unique benefits to our members is the flexibility to allocate an employee's payroll between labor class codes. This distinctive rating methodology is not offered by most commercial carriers, and can result in substantial premium savings for members. For example, if an employee spends some time driving a bus, but is mostly in the office performing administrative or other clerical functions, his or her payroll can be allocated between these two classifications, which may result in premium savings for the organization.
