Running a nonprofit in Massachusetts comes with unique responsibilities—and unique risks. Whether you serve your community through education, the arts, human services, or advocacy, it’s important to have insurance that reflects the specific nature of your work. At Gould Insurance, we understand how to help nonprofits protect the things that matter most—your mission, your people, and your community relationships.
Located in Massachusetts and serving local organizations for decades, Gould Insurance offers guidance on nonprofit insurance options with a focus on helping you navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.
What Is Nonprofit Insurance?
Nonprofit insurance refers to a collection of coverage options that can help protect your organization against potential financial losses. From property concerns to liability questions, nonprofits may face a wide range of risks—even if they aren’t generating profits. These policies can be tailored to your operations and the services you provide.
At Gould Insurance, we work with Massachusetts nonprofits to explore insurance solutions that align with their size, budget, and risk exposure. Whether your nonprofit operates from a small office or oversees multiple locations, we help assess your needs and explain your options.
Why Do Nonprofits In Massachusetts Need Insurance?
Massachusetts nonprofits often interact with the public, manage volunteers, hire staff, rent or own property, and sometimes host events. Each of these activities comes with potential risks, including bodily injury claims, property damage, data breaches, or employment practices concerns.
While every nonprofit is different, many seek insurance as a way to support long-term stability and protect their ability to continue serving the community. Some funding sources and grant programs may also require proof of certain insurance coverages.
Gould Insurance works with nonprofits across the Commonwealth to help make sense of what policies may be available and how they could fit into your organization’s operational goals.
What Types Of Coverage May Be Relevant For Massachusetts Nonprofits?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to nonprofit insurance. Depending on your organization’s mission and daily activities, you may want to explore options such as:
- General Liability Insurance – This can offer protection if someone alleges bodily injury or property damage due to your nonprofit’s activities.
- Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance – D&O coverage may help protect your board members and executives against claims related to decisions they make on behalf of the organization.
- Property Insurance – Whether you own or rent, this type of policy may help with costs associated with damage to office space, equipment, or supplies.
- Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance – If your nonprofit provides professional advice or services, this coverage could be relevant for negligence claims.
- Workers’ Compensation Insurance – Required by Massachusetts law for most employers, this may help cover medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured on the job.
- Cyber Liability Insurance – For nonprofits that collect personal data or manage online donations, cyber coverage may provide assistance in the event of a data breach or cyberattack.
- Volunteer Accident Insurance – Some nonprofits choose to explore coverage that helps protect the volunteers who give their time and skills.
At Gould Insurance, our team can help you evaluate your options, walk you through what different coverages might include, and assist with placing policies that align with your nonprofit’s structure.

What Makes Massachusetts A Unique Environment For Nonprofits?
Massachusetts is home to one of the country’s most vibrant nonprofit sectors, from small grassroots initiatives to major institutions. The state has unique legal requirements, grant opportunities, and regulatory structures that can impact how nonprofits operate—and what insurance options might make sense.
For example, Massachusetts labor laws affect how volunteers and employees are treated under various policies. Local municipalities may have specific requirements for permits, liability coverage, or event insurance. Understanding the regional context is important when considering what protection your nonprofit may need.
