The Hanover Insurance Group Introduces Management Liability Coverage For Nonprofitsof Historic Hurricane Season

With funding on a decline and the need for resources on the rise, more nonprofit organizations are being challenged to do more with less, increasing their exposures and leaving them more vulnerable than ever to devastating lawsuits.

To help nonprofit organizations protect their resources and their reputations, The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc.

The coverage is part of the company's Hanover Professional Portfolio, a growing selection of professional liability and management liability products designed to help the company's agent partners be more distinctive in their local markets.

The competitively-priced program is flexible and can be tailored to meet every organization's unique needs. Coverages include directors, officers and organizations liability; employment practices liability; fiduciary liability; and numerous specialized coverage enhancements.

"While non-profit organizations are operating for the greater good, they often face the same exposures as for-profit companies -- threatening their mission and future," said Helen Savaiano, vice president, management liability at The Hanover. "With that in mind, we are very pleased to add Hanover Nonprofit Advantage to our growing management liability suite, which includes, distinctive, industry-specific programs which help to enhance and secure unique positions in the marketplace for our agent partners."

She continued, "Because this is such a complex business, we have assembled a highly-experienced team of management liability experts to support this program, including specialized underwriters and legal and claims professionals."

Eligible nonprofits include cultural organizations; charitable foundations; scientific organizations; social services, educational institutions; healthcare organizations and professional associations.
