PHILOSOPHY

Plan nationally. Implement locally.

MISSION

The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF) helps communities and enriches lives by combining the collective strengths of the industry to provide grants, volunteer service, and leadership. 

WHAT MAKES IICF SPECIAL?

IICF is a unique nonprofit that unites an entire industry to work together for the common good. We enable competitors to work side-by-side for their communities. The companies that work through IICF are not doing it to improve their individual company profiles or brands. They are simply doing the right thing.
 
Funds raised through Oktoberfest support the IICF Ohio Community Grants Program, brining much needed proliferated support to our local nonprofits and benefit that community. IICF also collaborates with the Ohio nonprofit partners to encourage volunteer service and activities in our communities.
