Community giving guide for independent agencies

CCIG

Like any business decision, establishing a charitable giving program at your agency will need a purpose and a plan.

Deciding you want to give back is just the first of many steps to starting and growing a reputable giving program at your agency. This Community Giving Guide will help you avoid common challenges, get new ideas, and maximize the impact your giving has on your community and your agency.

This guide is full of advice from past Make More Happen Award winners making big impacts in their communities. The agents featured here represent different approaches to giving back, and they have generously shared details about their giving programs to inspire others to do the same. Beyond the videos, the information here is compiled from years of working with hundreds of agents who all started somewhere you’ve been too: with an idea and a passion to do more for those in need.

Get inspired and keep coming back to this guide as we add more stories and agent testimonials. Thanks for all you do in your community!
