Unemployment Savings Program

A Limited Liability Corporation

The Unemployment Savings Program is the only one of its kind and has been for over 30 years. It provides a fixed annual budget and your organization’s very own interest-bearing, proprietary reserve account, all while allowing you to save thousands of dollars when compared to paying the State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) tax. More importantly, your cost and coverage is entirely unaffected by other members.

How does it work?

  • The Unemployment Savings Program is specifically designed for your organization.
    Annual fees are based exclusively on your unemployment experience and employment profile. There are no shared risks or expenses.
  • Improve cash flow by making four equal, fixed quarterly payments to your reserve account.
    While most SUI tax payments are made during the first and second quarters of the calendar year, our program members make four equal quarterly payments.
  • Build a reserve account your organization actually owns.
    Unlike the taxes paid into your SUI tax account with the state, this interest-bearing reserve account is yours and will be returned to you if you should ever decide to withdraw from the program. Your account balance can be considered an asset and recognized as such in your organization’s financial records.
  • Your organization is protected against high unemployment years with stop-loss insurance when you need it.
    If you lose funding and need to restructure your organization or reduce staff, our stop-loss insurance limits your liability.
  • Professional unemployment claims administration and cost control is included.
    Receive services from unemployment insurance professionals familiar with your state’s laws and statutory requirements to assist you with claims validation, representation at all unemployment appeal hearings, audit of benefit charges, and more.

Why choose First Nonprofit?

Our unique programs are tailored specifically to you. There are no pooled losses or shared expenses; stop-loss insurance limits are calculated for each member based on their size and experience; an individual organization’s coverage limits are not impacted by any other member’s negative claim experience.

We offer true insurance coverage, not group reserves or joint and several liability exposure. Every dollar paid into your reserve account pays for claims charged only by your former employees. In addition, we have access to claims administrators across the country, allowing you to access service that fits your organization’s needs.

Testimonials

First Nonprofit has been a great partner. They have helped us saved hundreds of thousands of dollars! They have awesome resources for our nonprofit organization. Thanks for the partnership.

Community Care Inc., Milwaukee, WI

First Nonprofit has saved us so much money over the state’s program. We had one little glitch with the state recently and we contacted FNP immediately. FNP staff called us back immediately and moved to remedy the problem.

WI Council of Religious & Independent Schools (WCRIS), Madison, WI

Luckily for us, our interactions regarding any issues with staffing has been very minimal! I can say that all other interactions with regards to billing, 941 reporting, etc. have been extremely pleasant, accommodating and easy to work with. Kim Ghanayem is always prompt, professional and friendly. Thank you so much!

I have worked with the First Non-Profit Team for many years, and I appreciate the quick response and care that Cecilia and the team provides anytime I have questions. While there are other providers that may provide like services, First Nonprofit will always be my first choice! I appreciate you!

Innovative Services, Inc., Green Bay, WI

I would like to comment on my experience with FNP….to date our District has saved $1,000’s of dollars by being enrolled in the First Nonprofit program. My only regret is that we did not know about this method of paying unemployment tax years ago….as I had figured about five years

ago, had we enrolled 15-20 years ago, we could have saved our small school district upwards of $500,000 in payments to IDES. Also we would have had a pretty hefty sum of money in our Reserve Account. Thankfully I attended a workshop hosted by First Nonprofit back in 2015 which got the ball rolling!

Beardstown Community Unit School District 15, Beardstown, IL

My experience with the FNP has been fantastic. The idea of setting funds aside for the unemployment tax liability is a bedrock for nonprofit organizations like mine, namely ASHBA; what is even more advantageous is having the FNP as a custodian of those funds. 100% recommended!

American Saddlebred Horse & Breeders Association, Inc., Lexington, KY

First Nonprofit smoothed the unemployment perils for our organization during Covid. Without the ability to cap our UI exposure, we would not have been able to weather the storm. The program worked perfectly and we have come out of the pandemic ready to forge on. Thanks FNP!
