What We Fund

The Ori-gen Foundation was created to serve the needs of the community. The foundation amplifies our dedication to the key pillars of legacy, diversity, and community by investing in programs that build long-term stability, celebrate all backgrounds, and strengthen neighborhood ties. Although grant amounts can vary, our typical donation is $500–$5,000 per organization, per calendar year. While we may consider donations for other causes, the primary focus of our grant program will be allocated towards the following:

Cultural Awareness & Understanding

We are dedicated to highlighting, preserving, and championing all cultures and heritages. Programs given priority would include projects that foster dialogue, understanding, and awareness within diverse communities that we currently serve.

Health & Human Services

We are committed to advancing the health and well-being of the communities we live in. Programs we support include services to address homelessness, food pantries & resource distribution programs in disadvantaged communities, and mental health programs.

Youth
Development

Investing in the next generation is ingrained in our DNA.  We are committed to supporting the next generation of insurance professionals, business owners, and community leaders. Programs given priority would include internship programs, career development programs, mentorship programs, and skill-development programs.

Community Development & Education

A priority of ours is supporting organizations that provide capacity building to positively impact other not for profit organizations.  Examples of some projects might include scholarship programs, economic development programs (i.e. social justice or community re-vitalization projects), and minority-specific educational programs.

Emergency Preparedness & Response

We believe that strong communities are built through how we show up during times of crisis. We know firsthand that emergencies impact far more than just property. Through Ori-gen Foundation, we provide services to support community resilience before, during, and beyond immediate relief. That's why we invest in long-term recovery, trauma-informed care, and rebuilding resources to ensure support is provided for the greater community.

Minority & Small Business Economic Development

We understand the importance of supporting minority and women-owned businesses within our local communities in order to help these businesses grow.  Ori-gen Foundation is also interested in making social investments in disadvantaged communities by working with community partners.
