CEO COLUMN Time to pay it forward NAILBA Charitable Foundation — Supporting children in our communities Since the Foundation was established in 2002, more than $3 million in donations have been distributed to more than 200 community organizations nationwide. Dan LaBert, CEO NAILBA [email protected] I hear the same question all the time, what is the NAILBA Charitable Foundation? Simply put, the NAILBA Foundation is a forum for giving back . . . to improve the quality of life for those in need in the many communities served by our membership and by our valued partners. The mission of the NAILBA Charitable Foundation is to encourage voluntarism among NAILBA member agencies and our corporate partners and provide grant funds to worthy charitable organizations that serve to enhance the quality of life for those less fortunate, with special emphasis on children. Since the Foundation was established in 2002, more than $3 million in donations have been distributed to more than 200 community organizations nationwide. During the 2018 fiscal year, NAILBA members and industry partners raised $230,000 and distributed to 15 community organizations. If you have not contributed in the past or have not renewed your commitment for 2019, please consider this very worthy cause for your charitable endeavors. If you have already contributed, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Brokerage sold $4.2 billion in annualized premium in 2018 and represented 38% of the retail individual life insurance sales market.
