Cowan has long supported nonprofits across Ontario, offering hands‑on guidance and benefit solutions that reflect the realities of the sector. Their partnership with ONN helps ensure organizations receive both competitive pricing and exceptional service. To learn more about the program and request a quote, click here.

The program offers:
- Comprehensive and flexible plan options
- Lower expenses and stable premiums
- Regular plan enhancements
- Streamlined administration
- Exceptional claims service

Additional services to help ONN members fulfill their missions and better serve communities
Public policy analysis and advocacy
By becoming an ONN member you can support ONN’s public policy analysis and advocacy work for Ontario’s nonprofit sector.
We track and interpret provincial policy, and analyze how it impacts nonprofits – so you stay informed on what’s happening and apply your own expert view for your organization and subsector or region.
Through our ONN member e-news, you can stay informed and up to date on the latest policy announcements, funding opportunities, and network events.
Nonprofit lands registry
Is your nonprofit looking for land or a new facility? Get access to a list of surplus provincial government lands for sale before they go on the open market.
We worked with the provincial government to create a special registry for eligible nonprofits so they can access a government list of property that is for sale, before property goes to the open market.
