Introducing CariClub BoardGuard™

Serving on a nonprofit board is a powerful way to grow as a leader—but it also comes with legal and fiduciary risk. That’s why CariClub includes BoardGuard™—portable D&O coverage that protects you across all your board service engagements. BoardGuard™ complements nonprofit policies and provides peace of mind as you make high-impact decisions.
‍
Most nonprofit organizations maintain Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance as a standard practice, typically providing $1 million in total coverage. What many new board members don't initially realize is that this $1 million limit is collectively shared among all directors and officers serving the organization - not $1 million per person. This limited shared pool must cover both legal defense costs and potential settlements for the entire leadership team. Additionally, these policies may be narrowly defined to exclude associate and advisory board members altogether.

In today's complex regulatory environment, even the most conscientious boards may face claims related to financial oversight, employment decisions, fundraising practices, or regulatory compliance. The costs of defending against such claims—even when ultimately dismissed—can significantly impact the available coverage for all board members.
