Our Mission & Values

We strive to create a better world.

We thank all of you for helping us achieve that mission.

The NAFIC Foundation was founded in 2012 by the National Association of Fraternal Insurance Counselors. NAFIC had already been supporting charitable work for years by donating to a chosen charity at each National Convention.

Since then, the Foundation's reach has grown. Today, we support charities and community service events throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Fraternal purpose

We carry forward NAFIC's tradition of service by turning member generosity into practical help for communities.

Community reach

Our work supports charitable partners, local volunteer efforts, and relief projects across the United States and Canada.

Steady leadership

Our board brings experience from fraternal benefit societies, financial services, nonprofit work, and community leadership.

Our Board

Leaders committed to service.

The members of our board of directors are thought leaders who have made a significant contribution to our society. Each brings a unique set of skills and expertise to the Foundation.
