Your One-Stop Insurance Shop

At LaPorte, our goal is to take care of all your insurance needs to ensure you receive the right insurance for your needs without any hassle. Whether you’re looking for property and casualty coverage, employee benefits, or surety bonds, we’ve got you covered.

Our consultative approach means we take time to understand your needs. We’ll help you secure coverage to manage your risks effectively.

Your Agent and Advocate

You buy insurance with the hope you’ll never have to use it, but if you do suffer a loss, you need to know you’re in good hands. LaPorte is here for you. Our dedicated claims team will work with you until the claim is resolved to help the process go smoothly and quickly. We also offer bond claim resolution, claims reserve studies, customized reports, business continuation assistance, litigation support, and more.

Loss Control Support

By avoiding claims, you’ll keep your insurance costs under control, protect your organization’s reputation, and stay focused on your mission.

To help you achieve this goal, LaPorte offers loss control and risk management support. Whether you’re looking for ways to stay in compliance with ever-shifting regulations or you need resources to keep your workers and volunteers healthy and happy, we can help.

Oregon’s Largest Independently-Owned Agency

Sometimes you want the support of a local, independently-owned agency, but sometimes you need the carrier connections and resources of a large agency. At LaPorte, you get both.

Founded in 1979, LaPorte is now Oregon’s largest independently-owned insurance agency. We help local businesses and nonprofit organizations manage their risks, but we’re also licensed in all 50 states, meaning we can help you with out-of-state insurance needs, too. We work with both regional and national carriers to give you a wide selection of insurance options.

FAQs

01Does my nonprofit really need liability insurance?

Lawsuits aren’t just a problem for for-profit organizations – they also affect nonprofit organizations. Someone could slip and fall on your premises or as a result of your operations. An employee or former employee could sue you for discrimination. Donors could sue you for mismanagement of funds. Having adequate liability insurance policies in place protects your organization, allowing you to continue working toward your goals.

Many nonprofit organizations depend on volunteers, but this involves risks. For example, volunteer board members could be sued for alleged mismanagement of the organization – directors and officers insurance provides protection against this type of lawsuit. Alternatively, your volunteers could get into a crash while on duty. To protect against this risk, nonprofits typically need commercial auto insurance for any vehicles the organization owns as well as hired and non-owned auto insurance for personal vehicles used for official purposes. (Note: the owner of the personal vehicle still needs to maintain personal auto insurance.) It’s also important to think about coverage in case a volunteer suffers an injury. We can review your risks and recommend policies that fit your needs.
