Affordable coverage for your non-profit organization
Each year in Canada, 19 million volunteers generously donate enough time and labour to equal one million full-time jobs. To protect these hard workers and the organizations they support, The Co-operators designed Community Guard with affordable coverage for liability, property damage, Group Benefits and more.
This product and its associated training and support is the only one of its kind in Canada, and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to supporting our communities.
