Your nonprofit closed its doors because of ICE enforcement or federal funding cuts. Is there an insurance policy that could actually help? Maybe, but the answer is a lot more complicated than you'd hope. In this episode, I'm joined by Cody Wiswasser, an insurance professional at Community Partners Insurance Group, to dig into my questions. With so much uncertainty hitting nonprofits right now, I needed to know whether business interruption insurance is something my clients should actually be thinking about. Here's the situation: Can nonprofits get business interruption insurance? Are closures for ICE raids or funding cuts covered? Cody breaks down how business interruption coverage works, what it actually takes to file a claim, and why the fine print in your policy matters. What You'll Learn: What business interruption insurance is and whether your nonprofit qualifies The difference between standard and standalone coverage When a closure actually triggers a claim and when it doesn't How your nonprofit's specific mission affects your coverage options Why you need to understand your coverage BEFORE filing a claim Bottom line: Insurance isn't a magic bullet, but it DOES matter for nonprofits. For nonprofits that qualify, business interruption coverage could be important for them.
