The Big “I" is pleased to announce that Liberty Mutual, Safeco and State Auto have donated $100,000 to the Trusted Choice® Relief Fund. The donation will further the fund's mission to support those in the independent insurance channel impacted by catastrophes. Liberty Mutual, Safeco and State Auto have also pledged to donate annually to the fund.
The Trusted Choice Relief Fund provides quick, critical financial relief to independent insurance agents, brokers and other insurance professionals impacted by disasters such as floods, hurricanes and wildfires.
Following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the fund has issued grants to applicants affected by damage to their businesses, homes, automobiles and other belongings. As communities continue the long process of recovery in the aftermath of the hurricanes, the fund is continuing to accept donations and grant applications to help impacted independent insurance agencies and their staff.
These funds bridge the gaps where insurance and other sources of funds are not available. Applicants use the fund grants to secure accommodations, replace equipment, and purchase everyday essentials like clothing, transportation and recovery tools. Independent insurance agents in disaster-affected areas are encouraged to review the fund guidelines and apply for assistance. Those who wish to donate can make a contribution online.
