CSMCQuestion About Insurance for Small Nonprofits
Communities for Sustainable Monterey County (CSMC) is weighing the desirability versus cost of purchasing a General Liability Insurance policy (We already have Directors and Officers Liability Insurance). I would value any comments by other non-profits on this issue.

We are a small and have no property. How many small non-profits actually have a General Liability policy?

Please send your comments to:
Robert Frischmuth

Thanks.
