Celebrating the Insurance Industry's Impact: IICF Annual Benefit 2020

Join the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF) for Their Annual Benefit Event

On December 9, at 6 p.m. ET, the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF) will host their annual benefit event, showcasing the insurance industry's charitable work in communities and honoring the philanthropic leadership of Gallagher Global. The virtual program will feature a keynote address by John K. Mara, President and CEO of the New York Giants, and highlight the many recipients of the 2020 IICF community grants, including Boys Hope Girls Hope of New York, Rockland County's Center for Safety & Change, and the Children's Health Fund.

The Insurance Industry's Growing Role in Philanthropy

The insurance industry has increasingly become a significant player in philanthropy, with companies and organizations like IICF leading the way. According to a recent report by the Giving USA Foundation, corporate giving in the U.S. reached $21 billion in 2019, with the insurance industry contributing a substantial portion. This trend has only accelerated in 2020, as companies respond to the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Call to Action for Greater Industry Collaboration

As the insurance industry continues to grow its philanthropic footprint, there is a growing call for greater collaboration and coordination among industry players. By working together, companies can amplify their impact and create more sustainable solutions to the challenges facing communities. The IICF's annual benefit event is a prime example of this collaborative spirit, bringing together leaders from across the industry to celebrate their collective achievements and chart a course for the future.

For those looking to get involved in the insurance industry's philanthropic efforts, the IICF offers a range of resources and opportunities for engagement, from volunteering to corporate sponsorship. By getting involved, individuals and companies can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need, while also strengthening their own communities and industry.
