The Oregon Non-Profit Employers Trust (ONET) is a workers compensation alternative for those charitable nonprofit institutions that look to reduce the cost of their workers' compensation program by utilizing risk management best practices for implementing change.

The result of a true grass-roots movement by Oregon nonprofit executives, ONET began its operations in 2002 using a grant from the State of Oregon. Since that time the ONET program has become recognized for the services it provides for those nonprofits that meet ONET underwriting criteria. The program is a rare opportunity for charitable organizations to reduce their long-term administration costs during times of financial uncertainty.

ONET members have saved thousands of dollars a year in their workers compensation costs, and this savings has not come by accident:

ONET takes tremendous pride in its commitment to excellence and innovation. The level of participant control of claims handling is far greater than organizations have with traditional insurance carriers. The behavioral-based loss prevention services are industry specific and tailored for each individual organization, and the partnership styled on-site safety consulting results in the lessening of claims frequency.

Our mission statement says it all:

To provide our members long-term access to superior risk management services, the quality in which is measured by our ability to lower their cost of risk over time and to provide our sponsoring associations membership services that add value to the benefits of membership in their organizations while assisting them in reaching their membership goals.
