History

NAIFA-Pennsylvania was chartered in 1926. Since then, many of our members have sacrificed time and talent to better serve our industry. We have had five of our members serve as President of NAIFA and six of our members have served as NAIFA Trustees. It is fitting that we pay tribute to these individuals and to those who follow by recognizing their efforts, on our behalf, within the framework of the NAIFA-PA Keystone Foundation. The Foundation was founded April 1995.

Challenge for the Right Reasons

We, in the industry, are being challenged on a daily basis. In 1995, the NAIFA-PA Keystone Foundation was initiated for the following reasons:

• To foster and maintain high standards of ethical conduct in the profession of underwriting and in the business of insurance and allied products.
• To study, to improve and to facilitate the provision of quality insurance products and services in Pennsylvania.
• To promote the education of Pennsylvania youth via accredited college educational scholarships, awarded to nominees provided by association's local leadership.
• To support non-profit organizations of choice that are active and involved in public or charitable service and contributing funds to worthwhile charitable and public causes.

We invite you to become involved. Your gift will make a difference and provide you a way to reflect your values and principles for your industry, even for future generations. Insurance provides for your way of life and serves your clients' needs. As agents, we want to preserve this philosophy and maintain the business as we know it.

This can be accomplished through the NAIFA-PA Keystone Foundation. The foundation was incorporated under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Non-Profit Corporation Law of 1988, as amended, and has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be a charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
