With more than 100 years of experience, we can identify the risks that your organisation may be exposed to and design a tailored solution to meet your specific needs. Listed below are just a few of the covers available for religious institutions

Fire and other insured perils

When the unthinkable happens, we’ve got you covered. We cover your church, synagogue, other religious facility or non-profit organisation against damage caused by storms, wind, water flooding or fire as well as vandalism.

Business all risks

Insure the things that you need to take with you on trips. Get comprehensive cover for specified items both on and off the premises, including liturgical objects, paintings, video cameras, audio-visual equipment, theatrical equipment, catering equipment and more.

Buildings

Your organisation’s buildings are the most important assets in which to serve your community. Our building insurance provides comprehensive cover for all buildings.

Business interruption

When an organisation that serves communities, property is damaged, having business interruption insurance is vital, both to the organisation and the community at large. When your church, synagogue, or other religious facility or non-profit organisation is damaged by an insured peril business interruption can provide protection.

Vehicles

Safeguard your vehicles. Cover your organisations motorcars, ldv’s, buses, trailers, motorcycles and any modified vehicles as well as legal liability. Cover can also be included for motor hire, driver repatriation, mechanical breakdown and towing costs.

Money

Many organisations keep money on their premises and need to transport it from time to time. We provide cover against the loss of or damage to money kept on the premises and while in transit and can also be extended to include Personal Accident Assault cover.

Liability

We offer a wide range of liability cover solutions, from slip and trip to unintentional failure of the insured to perform the legal duty to exercise due care owed to another person or party. An organisation's actions could leave them legally liable for damage or injury to others and/or third party property. Cover can also be extended to include wrongful arrest and defamation.

Umbrella liability

This cover is used as a top-up on the standard liability cover. It provides the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have an additional layer of protection for the selected public and motor liability solutions.

Group personal accident

Accidents happen. This cover protects you against accidental bodily injury or death of an employee on or off the premises. Standard cover is for death, permanent disability, temporary total disablement and limited emergency expenses. Cover can be extended to include bereavement expenses, disappearance, emergency transportation, search and rescue, and more.

Electronic equipment

As a place of worship and safety religious organisations and non-profits are dependent on computer equipment, including printers for their day-to-day activities.
