The Arbella Insurance Foundation reached new levels of giving and community involvement in 2015, donating almost $2.9 million during the year, and $19.1 million since its inception. Arbella Insurance Group’s employees and independent agents played a critical role in helping the Foundation make a meaningful difference in communities
throughout New England. Over the past ten years, the Foundation has partnered with Arbella independent agents to donate more than $3 million to the charities they care most about. “The Foundation’s work with local insurance agents helps raise awareness of many smaller charities that may otherwise go unnoticed, allowing funding to go directly to those who need it most,” says Beverly Tangvik, president of the Foundation.
The Arbella Insurance Group’s commitment to supporting its employees’ charitable initiatives has been instrumental in creating the company’s culture of giving and helping others. Arbella employees value corporate citizenship and feel empowered to identify and support those who need assistance. Through participation in more than 60 volunteer events, employees gave 1,600 hours of their time in 2015, further strengthening the Foundation’s partnerships with local organizations.
With the support of the Foundation and the Arbella Insurance Group’s employee matching gift program, Arbella employees donated more than $223,000 last year. Additionally, the Foundation supported employees in
Arbella’s Claim branch offices and Bearingstar Insurance locations by donating $100,000 to a wide range of causes throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut.
The Foundation’s steadfast commitment to advancing safe driving continued as we partnered with our agents to deliver the Distractology 101 safety awareness program. The Be a Hero sponsorship and LiveNation Road Crew initiative complemented our efforts and helped to position Arbella as a leader in promoting responsible driving decisions.
In 2016 and beyond, the Arbella Insurance Foundation will continue its commitment to supporting nonprofit organizations that have a significant, positive impact on the people and communities we serve.
“Utilizing the generosity of the Foundation makes a powerful difference in our area.”
– Sharon MacEachern, assistant vice president, Greylock Insurance
