The Nonprofit Association of the Midlands (NAM) is the area’s premier member service organization. With over 200 member agencies comprise a diverse and vibrant compilation of our area’s nonprofit sector, NAM helps the sector in areas such as public policy & advocacy, training and educational opportunities or in some of the services described in this handout that make it easier our members to run their businesses.
NAM combines the purchasing power of our members to provide cost savings to you. This translates to real dollar savings for the employee benefits your nonprofit needs to have such as health/dental insurance and a variety of other insurance products and special member deals on a variety of group purchasing discounts from our partners.

Health Insurance Trust
With over 1,700 lives the Trust is a way for nonprofits to offer benefits at affordable rates. The Trust may be an option for NAM members with two or more employees (as required by Nebraska State Law) who are in need of group health, disability, dental, life and vision insurance plans are available. Current health insurance coverage is through Coventry and dental coverage is from Ameritas. For more infromation contact corey.dickmeyer@hakco.com.
Directors & Officers Insurance
For many years, directors and officers of nonprofit organizations enjoyed a sense of invulnerability as services associated with a nonprofit was not an attractive target for litigation. In today’s world, that is no longer the case. The three duties of corporate governance: obedience, loyalty and care, are important if a nonprofit board is faced with a lawsuit alleging improper fiduciary oversight or improper oversight of employment practices. For more information contact scott.durbin@hakco.com.
Supplemental Insurance
Life Happens. Even if you have health insurance, that doesn’t mean you won’t have significant out of pocket expenses. Major medical doesn’t pay for co-pays and deductibles or out of network visits. While we may have the best health care in the world, we also have the most expense. Supplemental insurance from either of NAM’s preferred providers (Aflac for smaller nonprofits and Colonial for the larger nonprofits) is a way to deal with the challenges that life can bring. For more information contact scott.durbin@hakco.com.
403B Retirement Plan
NAM 403(b) plan will now be able to deliver a better and more consistent plan and financial education to participants. Statistics show plan participation and deferral rates increase as the education message is clearer and participant choice is more defined. Sponsors will see more competitive pricing, better technology, broad choice of quality investment options and more fiduciary support. For more information contact Susan.Hilton@hakco.com.
