Nonprofit Practice
Nonprofit organizations are champions for causes that strive to make a difference in the world – on a local, national, and international scale. Due to the nature of their work, they’re subject to exposures that don’t exist in many other environments, which makes it essential to work with advisors who have specialized expertise in the nonprofit space. The Baldwin Group’s advisors have decades of hands-on experience protecting organizations and their people to help advance their mission.

RENEWED APPROACH
Committed to protecting your mission
Though many of the losses nonprofits experience involve severity rather than frequency, it’s critical to safeguard your mission, people, and organization for the long-term. Through our proprietary RiskMap process, we’ll explore your organization and its exposures from all angles, and deliver a comprehensive risk management strategy and practical steps that help ensure you’re as protected as possible.
We’ll help your organization with:
Loss control and prevention
The Baldwin Group’s nonprofit team is available to analyze your risk of loss in both current and anticipated activities. This includes an analysis by our in-house experts of the insurance language in your contracts and leases, conducted in close collaboration with your legal experts. We also facilitate an association exposure survey, which is designed to address all your organization’s activities and engagements, and provide a full range of risk management services, from security to disaster planning.
Claims assistance
While some claims may be more effectively handled by directly reporting to the insurance company, others require the involvement of an intermediary. At The Baldwin Group, claims assistance is provided by our internal claims management team that has direct experience working on the kind of claim you are likely to submit.
Insurance procurement
One of the most important functions of an advisor is presenting your organization to insurance companies to help access the best coverages and rates for your needs. We will develop and customize a marketing plan for you that involves a systematic re-evaluation of insurance cost and insurer capabilities.
Account management
The management of your account involves daily service performed by our dedicated nonprofit team. They oversee and manage your change requests, certificate requests, and more. On-site service visits are also available and designed to help us to keep our finger on the pulse of your organization. Agenda items may include:
- Review of new exposures
- Review of losses
- Review of the schedule of insurance
