A Costly Workforce Shortage

74.6% of nonprofits across all 50 states report having job vacancies today.

Despite having a large workforce, The nonprofit industry faces a talent shortage issue. A report by the National Council of Nonprofits in 2023 highlighted that this scarcity is causing a decrease in capacity, longer wait times for services, reduced services, and, in some cases, even the discontinuation of critical services.

As a result of the decreased capacity and services, around 28.1% of nonprofits now have longer waitlists for their services.

The Solution

Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA)

Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) give nonprofits a new way to offer attractive health insurance, so that they can retain quality workers and provide the customizable benefits top talent expects.

For budget-conscious nonprofits, an ICHRA can provide cost containment in the face of rising premiums while ensuring built-in ACA compliance.
