Community Involvement

West Bend Mutual Insurance Company is proud to support various causes and charities in and around West Bend, and has created a culture of giving that extends far beyond the corporation.

Our associates make a difference!

West Bend is blessed with kind-hearted and generous associates. They care about each other and their communities. So it's a natural part of our culture to not only encourage our associates to volunteer, but to provide them with opportunities to do so.

Each year, dozens of associates spend a full day building homes for Habitat for Humanity. Many of them participate in our local United Way campaign by generously donating to the cause. In fact, because of our associates' generosity, West Bend consistently meets or exceeds our United Way fundraising goals!

Associates also participate in events like the Boys and Girls Club 5K for Kids and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life by joining the West Bend team and raising pledges for these very worthy causes. For the past 25 years, associates have "adopted" families in need during the holidays, donating money for toys, food, and gift cards. Today, West Bend associates help ease the burden and make the holidays brighter for many area families.

We’re very proud that, regardless of the cause or the need, West Bend associates show their creativity and enthusiasm, along with their compassion and generosity, day in and day out. West Bend associates don't just know what it means to help a friend in need, they live it each day.

Here are just some of the ways our associates made a difference in 2022!

The West Bend Mutual Insurance Company Charitable Fund

Since 2004, the West Bend Mutual Insurance Company Charitable Fund has provided more than $5.6 million to organizations in our community and across the Midwest. It also gives much-needed time, funds, and other resources to the West Bend community, including schools, government, and other civic organizations.

The Spirit of the Silver Lining^® Award honors West Bend agents and the nonprofit organizations they support for their dedication to delivering a silver lining to those in need. In addition to the awards, a grant is presented to the nonprofit organization through West Bend’s Independent Agents' Fund. Grants from the fund are aimed at bettering these organizations and improving the lives of those served by them. Since 2006, West Bend has awarded more than $1.1 million to very worthy organizations throughout the Midwest. Read more.
