In 2022, we were excited to see the return of so many of our charitable activities. Our Company and Colleagues donated time and funds through our annual United Way campaign, our partnership with the Regional Food Bank, our sponsorship of The Rolling Thunder Book Bus, the Thunder Read to Achieve program and more.
With the return to in-person volunteer opportunities, teams across the Company spent time supporting local non-profits like the Oklahoma City Zoo, the Salvation Army and Infant Crisis Services Center. We were excited to once again help bring a free concert series to Oklahoma City’s Scissortail Park and we were thrilled to participate in the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, helping provide gifts to more than 100 children and elderly for the holidays. Once again, our Colleagues were able to volunteer their time to their favorite organizations and earned volunteer and board service grant funds for the organizations.
For more than 60 years we have been dedicated to making a positive impact in the communities that we serve, and that dedication and commitment holds strong today and every day in the future. Here are a few of the ways we helped make a positive difference in 2022.
Our Colleagues also have plenty of opportunities to get involved, and our Home Office Colleagues each receive 16 hours of paid volunteer time every year. We also have a volunteer grant program and board service incentive to encourage even more community involvement.
Colleagues donated nearly $14,000 to support 12 different organizations.
American Fidelity and our AF Foundation donated $2,925,756 to qualifying organizations in 2022.
$72,207 of our Colleague’s donations were match by the AF Foundation.
Colleagues earned $1,752 for organizations they volunteered at and used 1,664.5 hours of Paid Volunteer Time in 2022.
Last year our Colleagues earned $24,104 in board service incentives.
Our company was founded on the idea of helping others, and giving back to our community is a big part of who we are.
