Providing nutrition to the severely ill

The people at Conexus Insurance Partners have always been passionate about serving their community. When choosing a nonprofit to support, they considered numerous factors – financial accountability, trustworthiness and alignment with company values – to ensure that they were choosing a truly worthwhile cause. Ultimately, they landed on Project Angel Heart, a nonprofit that was already making a meaningful impact on their community.

Serving meals to those who need them

Project Angel Heart prepares, packages and delivers meals that have been medically tailored to the unique dietary and nutritional needs of each individual in their program. Meals are made from scratch by a team of chefs, in partnership with dietitians, targeting the illnesses and side effects with which their clients are living.

The nonprofit is able to provide this service each week thanks to the support of volunteers and partners who give their time, talent and energy – and the employees of Conexus are happy to be among those who contribute to their important cause. Every year, Conexus hosts a “Meal Bag Decorating Party” to get people together to make meal bags even more special for the clients who receive them.

“We’re proud to have named Project Angel Heart our first-quarter Charity of the Quarter for the past five years.”

—Sara Hoffman, managing partner at Conexus Insurance Partners

Protecting Coloradans together

Conexus’s core values led them to create the tagline, “People first, people protected.” This motto refers not only to the insurance services they provide, but also to the contributions they make to their community. The employees of Conexus have served Project Angel Heart in a variety of ways – assembling meals and meal bags, decorating meal bags, offering financial contributions and bringing awareness to the program.

Each quarter, Conexus selects a Charity of the Quarter that will receive additional donations as part of the agency’s referral program. “We’re proud to have named Project Angel Heart our first-quarter Charity of the Quarter for the past five years,” said Sara Hoffman, managing partner at Conexus. “As such, we donate $10 to the nonprofit for every referral we receive during the first three months of the year.”

“Corporate partners like Conexus and their employees are invaluable to Project Angel Heart. We’re grateful to Conexus for the opportunity to apply for additional funding.”

—Tera Prim, chief development officer at Project Angel Heart

Raising awareness online is another major way that Conexus contributes to the cause. On their website, blog and social media pages, Conexus regularly spotlights Project Angel Heart and draws attention to their special events, encouraging clients and followers to contribute during times like Colorado Gives Day, Giving Tuesday and National Nonprofit Day.

A boost from donations

“Corporate partners like Conexus and their employees are invaluable to Project Angel Heart,” said Tera Prim, Project Angel Heart’s chief development officer. “As we have continued to expand our program to meet the needs of communities across Colorado, our challenge will continue to be growing our donor and volunteer base. We’re grateful to Conexus for everything they do, including the opportunity to apply for additional funding.”

Project Angel Heart has recognized that there are more people in Colorado in need of their services than they have previously been able to reach. For this reason, they have expanded to northern Colorado with a goal to provide 800,000 meals and serve 75% of the Front Range urban corridor by 2025.
