Biography

Nicole Jolley directs Church Mutual’s nonprofit and human services business, bringing a balance of strong experience in insurance and underwriting with an immersion in the nonprofit sector. She was recognized by Business Insurance as a “Breakout Award” winner and as an emerging leader by NU Property & Casualty.

Nicole offers an inside look at the challenges and opportunities nonprofits face – especially within food banks, homeless shelters and group homes – in regard to risks and liabilities.

As part of her role, Nicole ensures that Church Mutual works with its nonprofit clients to address emerging trends and evaluates how data and insight from new technologies and automation can support the nonprofit space.

Nonprofits’ operations have been turned on their heads in the wake of societal response to COVID-19 and the death of George Floyd. Nicole provides a unique point of view on the ways nonprofit leadership decisions are impacted by risks related to decreased donations, staffing cuts, limitations with client/donor interactions, new advances in crowdfunding and approaches of “shared economy” (nonprofits sharing office space and vehicles).

Nicole also brings the perspective of a millennial leader within the insurance industry – which is often seen as stodgy – and she can speak to how insurance provides employees energy, social responsibility and affirmation.
