Whether it’s becoming a Big Brother, setting up a lemonade stand or advocating for economic and social equality for women and girls, Northwestern Mutual financial representatives are actively involved in their communities. To recognize this, Milwaukee-based Northwestern Mutual, through its foundation, is awarding financial representatives with the company’s 2015 Community Service Award.
Three winners in each of the four regions will receive a $15,000 or $20,000 grant for their nonprofit, while an additional winner per region is named most exceptional, earning $25,000 for their organization. In total, the foundation is awarding $285,000 in grants.
“Each year I’m overwhelmed by the outstanding work our financial representatives are doing in their communities and their strong spirit of giving is echoed across our company each day,” said John Kordsmeier, president, Northwestern Mutual Foundation. “The impact of these individuals extends our business and reaches the heart of what we do every day by putting others first.”
Since 1995, the company has donated more than $4.6 million to nonprofits on behalf of its financial representatives.
