Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium, and can be thought of as a guaranteed small loss to prevent a large, possibly devastating loss. An insurer is a company selling the insurance; an insured or policyholder is the person or entity buying the insurance. The insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage, called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.

What insurance is needed in Texas to host a non-profit fundraiser?
Q. I am in Galveston, TX and I am looking to host a large outdoor fundraiser for a non-profit organization. What type of insurance will I need to cover the event? Where can I look to find more details and how much does this insurance usually cost? Thanks!
Asked by Phil E - Sun Oct 14 11:54:38 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The non-profit organization should have a general liability policy, if they don't they need to get one. This policy can include events either within the policy or as a rider to the policy. The cost will be highly dependent upon the size of the organization, what they do, where they hold meetings and events, how often they hold meetings and events, and the size of those meetings and events. You can get a policy for as little as $200-$300 per year for small organizations up to over $10,000 for large organizations. You'll want to visit a local independent agent that deals with commercial policies.
