Liability insurance for foundations and associations
An association has no staff but does have people doing work. It is precisely those volunteers who regularly fall between all the policies when there is a loss.

In brief
Foundations and associations are liable for damage during their activities: injury to visitors, damage to a hired venue and damage caused by volunteers.
Volunteers are not employees, but the organisation can still have a duty of care towards them. Many municipalities also have a collective volunteers' insurance; check what it covers before insuring the same risk twice.
This page deals with one part. The overview of all parts is on the main page on public and employers' liability.
Independent, personal, sorted quickly
We compare your personal liability insurance (AVP) across dozens of insurers, explain where the real differences lie, and arrange the switch from start to finish — without you having to chase it yourself.

Get coveredWhy arrange it through Finass Verzekert?
We look at the terms as well as the premium, and stay your point of contact when there is a claim.
Independent
We are not tied to one insurer and compare on the basis of an objective analysis of several companies.
One fixed adviser
You call or email someone who knows your file. No menu options, no changing call centres.
Switching without hassle
We cancel your old policy and align the start date, so you are never a day without cover.
Help with claims
We report the claim and monitor how it is handled. In urgent cases you can reach us on the emergency line.
Customers rate our service on four aspects: personal service, service delivery, availability and the outcome. The reviews are collected and published by NH1816 and come from customers who have actually taken out a policy with Finass Advies B.V. or reported a claim.
What to look out for
Check the municipal volunteers' insurance
Almost every municipality has one. Know what it covers, so that you only insure what is genuinely missing.
Hired venues and equipment
Damage to a hired hall, marquee or sound system falls under care, custody and control and is excluded as standard.
Directors' and officers' liability separately
Board members of a foundation or association are personally liable for improper management. That is a different policy.
Report events separately
An annual party, tournament or market is a different risk from your regular activities. Report it or insure it separately.
What determines the premium
- Number of members or participants
- Nature of the activities
- Number of volunteers
- Your own location or a rented location
- Sum insured
This information is general in nature and is not personal advice. What is actually covered, including exclusions and the excess, is set out in the policy conditions and the insurance card (verzekeringskaart) of the insurer; you receive both before you take out cover.
Frequently asked questions
Are our volunteers insured?
Often in part, through the municipal volunteers' insurance. Check what it covers and top it up with liability cover of your own.
Is damage to a hired venue covered?
Not as standard. That falls under the care, custody and control exclusion; separate cover is needed for it.
Are our board members protected?
Not by this policy. Personal liability of board members calls for directors' and officers' liability insurance.
Do we have to insure our annual event separately?
Often yes. A large event has a different risk profile from regular activities; report it or take out an events policy.
