Giving back brilliantly

Band Together Campaign
We are passionate about supporting worthy organizations. That’s why we selected three, national non-profits to join us in our Band Together campaign.
This campaign encourages our policyholders to vote for a non-profit they feel most strongly about. Read more about our 2020 Charitable Giving Campaign.

Helping Our Employees Help Others
Encouraging and supporting our employees to be socially responsible and involved in our community is a top priority. We can do so much more together.
Gift Match
Our employees are generous givers. The company amplifies this generosity by matching their charitable donations 50%, to any eligible non-profit, nationwide.
Volunteer Hours
All employees are given 12 paid volunteer hours each year and are encouraged to volunteer either individually or as a group through company-organized events.
Charitable Giving Committee
Our corporate gifting initiatives are employee-lead through a cross-functional team that meets quarterly. The committee decides where our local philanthropic efforts are directed and assures each donation provides a positive impact on our community.
Department Efforts
Individual departments are empowered to and often organize their own charitable initiatives above and beyond what the company sponsors. During the holidays you’ll often see department food drives, coat drives or Adopt-A-Family programs popping up across the company.
Scholarships
Our employees’ children are eligible to apply for educational scholarships each year. We also sponsor various jewelry industry scholarships and training through the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region.
