I am pleased to announce that the Arbella Insurance Foundation will continue our winter tradition of sponsoring the sixth annual Let's Drive Out Hunger program. Together with our partner agents, over the past five years we have been able to contribute more than $422,000 to food pantries in our local communities. Standing alongside you, the Foundation is here to help more than 500 emergency food programs, soup kitchens, food pantries, food banks and homeless shelters throughout New England that desperately need and depend on us.
The Program
The Arbella Insurance Foundation will match eligible charitable donations on a $2-to-$1 basis, donating up to $500 per agency. If you would like to "max out," donate $250 and the Arbella match of $500 will bring your donation to $750. Organizations eligible for the match are food pantries, food banks, and homeless shelters, as long as they are qualified as IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organizations or governmental agencies. The program will be in place from November 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014.
Arbella agents are part of the community fabric that runs throughout New England, and you are proven leaders who support countless charities and civic efforts. We can think of no better way to maximize your contributions within your communities than with this great program. Click here for the form that outlines the details.
Local media can help get the message out that donating money to local charities is part of your agency's ongoing commitment to the community. In order to help with your promotional efforts, included in this email are a press release template and media outreach tips.
Once again, we are offering an oversized check that we will customize with your agency's name and the organization's name for you to present to the organization.
I sincerely hope you will join us in this worthwhile program. If you have any questions, please contact the foundation's director of charitable giving, Beverly Tangvik, at charitable.foundation@arbella.com.
