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
