FAIA Good Works Fund

The Good Works Fund was established in 2009 to support charitable giving in the insurance field with an emphasis on insurance education. Contributions help support institutes of higher education with insurance degree programs, and provide scholarships to talented students pursuing insurance as a field of study. 

Gifts to the Good Works Fund ensure both current and future good works: 25 percent of each gift is invested as an endowment to perpetuate the mission of the FAIA Good Works Fund for many generations. The Community Foundation of North Florida* manages all contributions to the FAIA Good Works Fund, which are tax-deductible, and a volunteer leadership committee oversees the fund's administration and other efforts.
