To improve the quality of life and build equitable communities where we live and work, including the Maui community.
Learn moreThe Sentry Insurance Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Sentry. Giving priorities include education, workforce development, United Way, and local organizations that work to improve the quality of life and build equitable communities where we live and work, including the Maui community—home of the The Sentry.
At Sentry, charitable giving is an integral part of our business. It’s who we are. And who we’ll always be. We approach our philanthropy the same way we approach our business—through relationships and conversations to understand needs and identify opportunities.
The Sentry Insurance Foundation provides our employees and retirees with a Matching Gift Program—matching individual donations to eligible charitable organizations, up to $7,500 per year per person. Our associates and retirees are generous, and we're pleased to help make their gifts go even further to help our communities.
Originally known as the CN Jacobs Foundation, we’re a tax-exempt 501 c(3) independent private foundation.
To make a meaningful impact, we talk with community leaders to identify and support organizations that are addressing areas of need that align with our giving goals.
Our charitable focus areas are education, workforce development, United Way, and local nonprofits working to improve quality of life in Sentry communities.
We focus our giving efforts on education, workforce development, and local organizations working to improve quality of life and build stronger, more equitable communities where Sentry employees live and work.
We don’t give to individuals, political or lobbying organizations, or third-party fundraisers.
We give where our associates live and work. This includes Stevens Point, where Sentry is headquartered, the island of Maui—our home away from home—and the communities where our field offices are located.
