Solving the Unique Insurance Needs of Global Organizations
International NGOs, U.S. nonprofits, and Higher Education institutions have important missions to pursue, but the complexities of global insurance can often get in the way. Allegiant’s mission is to help global organizations achieve their goals by stepping in to broker the best health insurance, travel insurance, and Assistance & Security policies available.
Beyond supporting global organizations with their Duty of Care — for all employees, regardless of their status or location — the Allegiant team is on hand to provide comprehensive support and insightful strategy derived from decades of industry experience.
