Liability Plus is available to most local Chapters or Clubs with a master organization wishing to purchase this liability protection. Coverage is extended to include any Nonprofit member or volunteer.

Nonprofit Insurance Liability Plus provides General Liability coverage for activities or events sponsored by your Nonprofit Chapter. This coverage includes a $1,000,000 Per Occurrence/$2,000,000 Aggregate Limit for your Nonprofit. Coverage is included for the following:

The United States, its territories and possessions, Puerto Rico and Canada are included in the coverage territory for this policy.

The policy period is one calendar year. During the application process, your Nonprofit Chapter may choose the effective start date of the policy. Following the choice of start date, the policy will expire on the same date the following year. If leadership roles are changing within your Nonprofit group, be sure that insurance renewal is a task delegated to an incoming officer
to avoid a potential lapse in insurance coverage.

Every time you name another entity on your policy, you have agreed to share your limit of liability, and to defend that other entity should a lawsuit arise. Other community organizations
are considered separate legal entities that cannot be properly protected under the same insurance policy. Do not let any other entities or separate organizations use you for your insurance. Protect your insurance and use it only for your Nonprofit Chapter or Club.

Concessionaires and commercial vendors provide for-profit attractions such as a food vendor. These vendors will operate on behalf of your local Chapter for a percent of the profits or for a prearranged price. These concessionaires and vendors are independent contractors. Your local Club or Chapter is protected against claims or suits arising out of the operations (unless excluded) of these independent contractors. However, the independent contractor is afforded NO protection under the local Chapter or Club policy and should, for your protection, provide your local Club or Chapter with their own Certificate of Insurance. This Certificate of Insurance should show that the independent contractor/vendor has in-force liability insurance with limits of a least $1,000,000, and it should also name your local Chapter or Club as Additional Insured. The vendor may attempt to charge your group for the cost of the Additional Insured endorsement that must be added to their liability policy. Since the concessionaire will be earning a profit, your group may be able to negotiate this price. If the vendor is unable or unwilling to provide the Certificate of Insurance, you should consider finding another concessionaire or vendor who will.
