Directors and Officers Liability Insurance for Exponent Philanthropy Members

Directors & Officers Liability Insurance

 


Directors & Officers Liability Insurance is critical for small foundations in today’s environment.

Even for foundations with few or no staff, the risk of litigation is real and rising. That’s why USI Affinity, in conjunction with Philadelphia Insurance Companies (PIC), developed a Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance Program especially for members of Exponent Philanthropy. This unique program features broad coverage and exceptional pricing for foundations with five or fewer paid staff.
