Times are not easy for Non for Profit Organizations. Economic uncertainty and public budget constraints have reduced their sources of income. At the same time, society increasingly needs and demands the services provided by the Non for Profit Sector. In addition, regulators are more active than ever. Technology, which enables growth and productivity but threatens every Non For Profit Organization leaving the company vulnerable to attacks from every corner of the world. And Employees are more prone to fight to protect their rights.

In this context, insurance plays an increasingly important role, particularly when it stops being an instrument that only pays claims when they happen and it starts becoming an additional Risk Management tool that helps Non for Profit Organizations reduce their exposures.

At Beluga we have designed a series of products that cover the different areas of liability Non for Profit Organizations face.

Recent legislative changes have left Directors & Officers of Not for Profit Entities more exposed than ever to liability claims. All associations and foundations are now considered Enterprises. The new Book XX of the Economic Law Code applies to all enterprises, which makes that all VZWs/ASBLs can now be declared bankrupt. Moreover, the new company law will now also apply to associations, which will mean that the same liability rules will apply, including the joint and several liability … As a result, and in addition to measures to professionalise directorships, Directors & Officers Liability Insurance has become a must.

Beluga Management Liability Insurance Associations & Foundations has been designed with these entities in mind, including covers for the entity itself under its Corporate Legal Liability section.
