Dividends

Dividends are a unique feature of pooling.  Unlike traditional insurance companies, which retain unused premiums and investment income as profit, NIRMA is a nonprofit organization.  This means unencumbered monies that remain available after the payment of claims and general operating expenses are returned to our member/owners, not outside investors and shareholders.

Since 1991, NIRMA has returned $10 million to our member counties.
