ZURICH NORTH AMERICA and its employees help their customers
understand and protect themselves from risk – and they do the same for their communities. In the US, Zurich supports six core charities and more than 370 local nonprofits aligned to three key areas: children, health and community resilience.
“We believe that community service is what the insurance industry does for people and business every day. That’s why we do what we do” JOHN KINSLER Zurich North America
Skills-based volunteering allows employees to leverage their skills and talents to strengthen the structure of nonprofits, allowing them to build and sustain their capacity to successfully achieve their missions. In addition, Zurich’s grant programs provide funding to nonprofits that align with the company’s giving philosophy; over the past 18 months, Zurich has awarded more than $1.3 million in grants and more than $300,000 through its matching gift program, in which the company matches employee contributions to qualifying nonprofits. Sponsor Aon Benfield presented Zurich with the award. “Community service is one of Aon’s core values,” says Aon Benfield executive managing director Tim Ronda. “We knew we wanted to be a part of this award, because it’s something Aon strongly believes in.”
