International Day of Charity

On September 5, we collectively recognized and celebrated?International Day of Charity. For me, it serves as an opportunity to recognize our employees across the globe and outline our collective commitment to charitable causes. I am proud to reflect on our recent Assurant Foundation charitable contributions and employee volunteerism across the world, especially this past year throughout everything we’ve all been through.

Assurant’s charitable giving philosophy – Protecting, Connecting, Inspiring?–?align deeply with our purpose and values. We are steadfast in our commitment to strengthen communities and to equal opportunity, non-discrimination and fair treatment for all.

The Assurant Foundation focuses on:?

• Protecting: We help people access safe places to live and thrive.?
• Connecting: We strengthen the communities where we operate, especially when disasters strike. This includes supporting core charitable partners in ways that enhance their ability to serve.?
• Inspiring: We encourage and prepare diverse talent and innovative leaders for the future.?

The Assurant Foundation provided over $5 million in grants, crisis relief, matching gifts and in-kind donations to charitable organizations over the last year. It's one of the reasons we were recognized as a 2021 honoree of?The Civic 50 by Points of Light.??????

Join me in applauding our U.S. and international Assurant employees for living out Assurant's core values and driving the Assurant Foundation's strategic goals.
