Insurance for Wikimedia Belgium

Before 2023, as an association, we did not have a proper insurance. This meant that each individual board member was personally responsible, which was not at all acceptable.
We have requested an offer for an insurance for Wikimedia Belgium:[1]
- Directors' and officers' liability[2]
- Contractual liability
- Civil liability
- Legal assistance
- Accident insurance
- Internet fraude
We have already received 2 offers and are waiting for 2 others.
Next steps
[edit]- Then we will compare the contracts and propose the best offer, for our small non-profit organisation
- Then we will agree and sign a contract
- We need to add a budget item for this expense
Note: our non-profit organisation is quite special, in that we do not organise real physical activities (except meetings, writing sessions, or conferences). Therefore insurance companies have a problem of quantifying the risks.
