The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provides deposit insurance for consumers who don't have a bank account. FDIC is a government agency, so it's not for profit, but it has been designated by Congress as the primary regulator of US financial institutions.
FDIC is also a nonprofit organization—it's not funded by any taxes or fees from its members and doesn't charge fees to cover losses from its insurance program. In fact, it spends most of its money on other programs like different types of education initiatives and consumer protection efforts related to banks' activities such as loan fraud detection and prevention programs; hotlines; community outreach events; information services including webinars/webinars at low cost or no cost at all depending upon how much time you want spend watching slideshows!

The FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000 in the United States. That's the maximum amount that can be covered by the FDIC in a single account or multiple accounts.
So if you have $250,000 of your own money at home and want some insurance against it being lost because of fire or theft, then you need to get an insurance policy from an institution like Fidelity Investments or Vanguard Life Insurance Company (VSLI).

The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Consumer Protection has a web page called "FDIC Insurance." It includes information on how consumers can check if their bank or credit union has FDIC coverage; what types of deposits are covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC); and where to report financial losses due to fraud or theft when there is no insurance coverage available from the federal government or other source.
Find out if you need FDIC insurance before opening a bank account
Whether or not you need FDIC insurance is determined by the type of account you have. If it's an individual retirement account (IRA), then you'll need to contact the Consumer Information Center at 800-930-4444 (TTY) and speak with a representative about what protections are available for your money in case of bank failure. The same goes for certificates of deposit and savings accounts—they all come with varying levels of insurance coverage, depending on what kind they are and if they're held at a local bank or national institution such as Citibank or Wells Fargo.
If someone wants to open an account without having any other financial products like CDs or IRAs attached to it yet still be protected against loss due to failure within 30 days after opening day; then they should consider purchasing FDIC insurance through their local bank instead!
