Allianz Global Assistance USA Awards Grants to Support Non-Profits
Henrico-based Allianz Global Assistance USA today named the recipients of the first wave of its 2014 corporate giving program. The Travel Aid Grant (TAG) program supports non-profit organizations across the country whose project, program or initiative is enhanced or achieved through travel.
Travel Aid Grants are administered by the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility team, which meets twice a year to award grants based on a program’s merits and beneficiaries. During this contribution wave, Allianz Global Assistance awarded four organizations $5,000 each for a total of $20,000. Total grants through the TAG program have now reached $50,000.
Recipients of the first wave of 2014 philanthropic grants are:
Junior Achievement of Central Virginia
“We are so grateful that Allianz Global Assistance has joined our mission to bring much needed critical-care health services to children in developing countries,” said Susan Rickman, president and CEO of World Pediatric Project. “We truly value the support of our corporate partners in this life saving mission and we are so pleased to have been selected as a TAG grant recipient.”
"As a leading travel insurance provider, we support travelers every day in their quest to explore the world,” said Mike Nelson, CEO of Allianz Global Assistance USA. “We’re also proud to support organizations that share our desire to make the world a better place for all."
To be considered for the TAG program, non-profit organizations can request an application by sending an email to howcanwehelp@allianzassistance.com.
