IMA Foundation
IMA has a proud
history of giving
back to the
communities
where we live
and work. This
commitment is
highlighted by
the company’s strong support of the IMA
Foundation, which consistently receives 2.5%
of IMA’s annual profits. The IMA Foundation
strives to make strategic giving decisions that
align with the company’s business and the
passions of our employees.
The IMA Foundation gives back to the
community through four key focus areas.
Advancing Youth concentrates on in-school
education programs that support early
childhood, K-12 and higher education with an
emphasis on dropout prevention and financial
literacy. Enhancing economic vitality identifies
nonprofit partners who are actively creating
jobs in our communities. The IMA Foundation
also focuses on preventative health and
wellness initiatives and organizations that find
ways to help reduce the cost of healthcare.
Arts in education and cultural institutions are
the focus of our contributions to arts and
culture.

IMA Foundation Supports our industry’s workforce of the future
Colorado State University recognizes the importance of the insurance
industry and the impact it has on business. IMA is proud to be among
CSU’s first partners to be committed to the development of its Risk
Management degree program in the College of Business at its Fort
Collins campus.
The availability of a risk management program in our region
acknowledges the importance of the insurance industry and the need
for us to educate and train our future workforce. IMA’s financial
commitment will not only support the creation of the program, but also
create an endowed scholarship to assist students who want to pursue
a risk management degree. IMA’s recruitment efforts are already on a
national scale.
IMA voices
I volunteer because I am grateful to have an opportunity
to improve someone else’s life. I especially like that I can
volunteer with my son and lead by example.
- Pete Krsnich - Wichita, KS
Volunteering is something that reminds me how fortunate I am
and keeps life in perspective. The people that you help are always
thankful no matter how small the task is. At the end of the day you
realize what we can accomplish to make a difference in the lives of
other people.
- Lavonne Baker - Denver, CO
Experiencing the promotion of goodness emits a feeling of selfworth and pride. The value of appreciation received really proves
that one person can indeed make a difference.
- Paulette Konrad - Dallas, TX
My wife teaches elementary school in an area of town that is
economically challenged and often we hear stories about less
fortunate kids who are in great need and it moves us to want to
reach out and get involved. For us it’s not to necessarily meet
people or learn a new skill, but much more to have an influence on
someone or improve someone’s current situation.
