Western Division--Regional Programs
The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation provides support through nonprofit grants, volunteer opportunities and leadership. The future of the Foundation is centered on significant regional growth.
- The Foundation's National office is located in Walnut Creek, California - just outside of San Francisco, one of the nation's largest insurance hubs.
- To strengthen the Foundation's presence in California, we have coordinated focused regional growth in the Central Valley/Fresno and San Diego regions, increased efforts in Orange & Los Angeles Counties, and continue to focus on the Inland Empire .
- A New York Division was launched in 2007 and exploration began into the Midwest in 2007. In May 2008, the California Division expanded to become the Western Division.
- In 2008 a National Board of Governors was established. Their focus is setting policy and growing the Foundation endowment.
- All community support will continue to be directed at the local regional levels where funds are raised.
- Future regional expansion targets the Midwestern and the Southern United States.
- Future expansion plans may include an International Division.
