Primerica Gives Back Through Employee Choice Grant Awards

On May 23, the recipients of the 2017 Employee Choice Grant Awards program gathered together with Home Office employees and members of The Primerica Foundation for a special recognition event.

Primerica Home Office employees have the opportunity to nominate and choose from among a diverse selection of deserving non-profit organizations once a year. The Primerica Foundation awards five local non-profits with $10,000 each following the company-wide vote. The awards are designed to recognize smaller organizations that are making a strong impact in the local community.

The top five winners of the 2017 Employee Choice Grant Awards included Alzheimer’s Association of Georgia, CURE Childhood Cancer, Hope Animal Assisted Crisis Response, MUST Ministries and the Will to Live Foundation. To date, 28 non-profits have received Employee Choice Grant funding from The Primerica Foundation totaling $280,000.

Tom Gonter, Development Officer for MUST Ministries, says funding from The Primerica Foundation carries long lasting value to those who truly need it. “It makes a huge difference,” he says. “Because of your gift, the lives of others are transforming. Your generosity to those in need is benefitting some of the 30,000 clients a year who come to MUST Ministries seeking help and hope.”

The 2018 Employee Choice Vote will take place in the fall.
