Congratulations !

As there are many parents out there creating solutions for our loved one in

their respective communities, please share with us what you find out.

I was told that insuring the board was only necessary if they were at risk of

being targeted in a lawsuit if they had a large personal fortune, or if the

organisation's funds were being mishandled. The insurance would only cover legal

expenses, not fines or the boardmember's financial loss.

However, insuring volunteers is a good precaution. Have you asked other

nonprofits with a similar mission who they use?

When we were starting up the Autism Community Connection, I recall the ARC of IL

telling us that membership in their organization came with D & O insurance for our

board. Can’t recall the cost, but it was minimal. Of course you’d also

need to become a member of the ARC as an organization. Perhaps someone here is

more familiar with it, or you could check with them directly, too.
