Employee Benefits for Non-Profit Organizations in Canada: Supporting Those Who Support Others

Non-profit organizations are built around making an impact — and every dollar matters.

For more than 50 years, the Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan (Chambers Plan) has helped Canadian organizations provide meaningful employee benefits while supporting long-term financial sustainability.

For non-profits, that means a well-established benefits solution designed to support both your people and your budget.

A Not-for-Profit Plan Built for Sustainability

The Chambers Plan operates on a not-for-profit model, meaning surpluses are reinvested back into the Plan rather than distributed to shareholders.

For participating organizations, this helps:

  • Control premiums
  • Support greater rate stability
  • Enhance services available to members
  • Promote long-term sustainability

The Plan also pools risk across more than 32,000 Canadian organizations and businesses, helping it maintain average annual renewals of under 5% over the past decade.

For non-profits working within carefully managed budgets, greater predictability can make a meaningful difference.

Supporting Your People — and Your Mission

Whether you have 1 employee or 50+, the Chambers Plan offers flexible and robust coverage designed to evolve alongside your organization.

From health and dental to disability, life insurance, mental health resources and virtual healthcare, organizations can build a benefits program around what matters most to their people.

The result? A benefits program that helps your organization attract and retain employees, support their health and well-being, and manage costs as you grow.

More Than Benefits: Support for Non-Profit Leaders

Non-profit leaders often wear multiple hats — and may not have dedicated HR, legal or accounting teams to turn to.

Through the Chambers Plan’s Business Assistance Service, participating organizations have access to professional support beyond traditional employee benefits:

  • HR Guidance: Support with employee relations, workplace policies, contracts and other HR matters.
  • Legal Guidance: Confidential consultation for legal questions that arise while running your organization.
  • Accounting Guidance: Professional support for financial and accounting questions.
  • Leadership Support: One-on-one, solution-focused coaching to help leaders navigate challenges and make informed decisions.

It’s added support for the people responsible for keeping the organization moving forward.


With more than five decades of experience, a not-for-profit structure and a large pool of participating Canadian organizations and businesses, the Chambers Plan provides an established approach focused on three things:

Stability. Sustainability. Support.

Because supporting your mission starts with supporting the people who make it possible.
