Insurance Crisis. Services on the Line. 9,700 Youth at Risk. “Our new insurance policies took effect April 1 of this year. This is not something that is usually noteworthy, but sadly in today’s landscape, the process became far more complex than it should have been. I am grateful to our brokers Marsh McLennan Agency for their diligence in searching the market to find the best solutions for us. Like many nonprofits serving at-risk children and youth, McKinley is navigating a dramatically shrinking insurance market. Fewer carriers are willing to insure nonprofit organizations, and those that remain are charging significantly higher premiums, often for less coverage. The simple reality is that the insurance system for human services is breaking down. Nonprofits are being forced to confront program downsizing and closures, not because of mission failure, but because of the cost and availability of insurance. It doesn’t have to be this way. Very sensible reform can improve this situation dramatically. If you’re a policymaker, provider, advocate, or simply someone who cares about protecting services for vulnerable youth, your voice matters. Reach out to your state legislators, share this message, and help us raise awareness. If you’d like to learn more or get involved, feel free to message me directly. I’d be happy to connect.” — Anil Vadaparty, CEO of McKinley Anil's words underscore a growing crisis affecting nonprofits everywhere: insurance is no longer a given, it’s a barrier to providing crucial services. We’re proud of our team and our broker partners who fought hard to keep McKinley’s doors open and our services protected. But the system is failing. 💡 Let’s raise our collective voice. Advocate for reform. Stand with nonprofits. Help protect services that vulnerable youth depend on. 📽️ And stay tuned, we’re sitting down with Anil Vadaparty for a special interview soon to spotlight the insurance crisis. #PolicyReform #AdvocacyMatters #InsuranceCrisis #YouthServices #McKinleyMission
