Saving Nonprofits Time and Money since 1982

In 1982, a group of nonprofit executives joined together to form this unemployment trust to provide a safe way to leave the state unemployment tax system and provide effective claims management.

Today we are the nation’s most experienced unemployment trust, with nearly 1,500 participating nonprofits. Collectively, we save more than $20 million per year versus what we would pay in state unemployment taxes.
