Announcing Group Health Plan for Virgina Nonprofit EmployeesVANNO is pleased to announce a partnership with its sister organization, the Center for Nonprofit Advancement, to provide group health insurance benefits to VANNO member organizations.
Through this partnership, Virginia’s nonprofit sector will have access to the Center’s health care program, which has offered comprehensive benefits to nonprofit organizations in the Washington, DC metropolitan area for more than 20 years. The key features of the Center’s health plan include a broad choice of health plans, guaranteed issue of medical coverage, and the option of COBRA coverage for employees.
VANNO member nonprofits will be able to join the Center for Nonprofit Advancement for as little as $100 a year** and have access to all the benefits available in the Center’s Health Care Program, including medical provided through insurance carriers Kaiser Permanente and United Healthcare; dental; vision; and life insurance. (**Northern Virginia nonprofits within the Center's service area will need to join the Center at regular dues rate to access the Health Plan.)
“Through surveying our members, VANNO has found that access to group health insurance benefits is one of the greatest challenges facing Virginia’s nonprofits,” said Deborah Williamson, VANNO’s new executive director. “We are very pleased that our partnership with the Center will now permit us to offer an option to meet this important need throughout the Commonwealth.”
Betsy Johnson, executive director of the Center for Nonprofit Advancement, added, “We are very excited about the opportunity to make our health care program available to nonprofits across Virginia in collaboration with our colleagues at VANNO. This partnership is a huge win-win for both of our organizations and our respective members.”
VANNO will conduct informational seminars around Virginia in late summer and early fall for nonprofits interested in accessing group health insurance benefits through this partnership. In the meantime, read the Health Care Fact Sheet for more details or visit www.nonprofitadvancement.org.
