Unemployment Coverage
What do Alliance for Children and Families, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, America’s Second Harvest, YMCA of the USA and other national organizations have in common?
They found a way to help their affiliates save thousands of dollars – money now available for programs.
You Can Do It, Too…
501c Agencies Trust is a nationwide vehicle used by many national organizations to help their affiliates reduce costs and improve their unemployment programs. Since 1982, the Trust has provided a safe method of managing unemployment costs in a professional and fiscally responsible manner. Your local affiliates will wonder how they got along without it.
How is this Possible?
Federal law permits 501(c)(3) organizations to “opt out” of their state unemployment tax systems and become reimbursing employers. You and your affiliates will reimburse the state for only those claims you incur, reducing unemployment costs substantially …especially when you consider that nonprofits typically pay $2.20 in taxes for every $1.00 of claims paid.
With 501c Agencies Trust , members can:
- Build their own reserve accounts that return investment income
- Protect against high unemployment claims risk with stop-loss insurance
- Control unemployment claims costs with an expert claims management team
- Learn how to further reduce unemployment costs through educational workshops
- Access the HR Program for information aimed at helping local staff overcome difficult HR issues
Would you like to know more about the Trust and its current national partners?

or contact Ellen Johnson at (800) 442-4867 or ejohnson@501c.com.
Note: Effective 1/1/2007, Joint Agencies' Trust's new name will be 501c Agencies Trust
