Is a nonprofit legally required to carry insurance in Alabama?

All FAQs

No general liability or D&O mandate exists under Alabama law for the nonprofit itself. Alabama does require a $10,000 surety bond, but only from third-party professional fundraisers and commercial co-venturers soliciting on a charity’s behalf once the organization passes $25,000 in gross contributions (Code of Alabama Sec. 13A-9-71) — that bond is the fundraiser’s obligation, not the nonprofit’s own insurance. Workers’ compensation becomes mandatory once an Alabama nonprofit regularly employs five or more people (Code of Alabama Sec. 25-5-50).
