The philanthropic arm of insurance behemoth Amica has confirmed its contribution of nearly $6.5 million in charitable grants and nonprofit support in 2025. Apart from the donations, Amica employees participated in a streak of volunteering in 2025, with plans underway to raise the bar higher in 2026.
Amica backs nonprofits with 6.5 million in grants and sponsorships
Amica says it has donated nearly $6.5 million in grants for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations across the US. Through its charitable arm, Amica provided over $4.6 million in grants and another $1.8 million to back community-based organizations.
A bird’s-eye view of the spending revealed a preference for education, health, community development, and public affairs. A slice of the amount went to investment in mission-driven organizations promoting arts and culture in the US.
The investments come on the heels of a funding drought faced by US nonprofits in 2025, with several organizations forced to shutter their operations. Amica President Ted Shallcross noted the importance of its support of nonprofits, highlighting the ripple effects of their positive ripple effect across communities.
“At Amica, we know our business is only as strong as the communities in which we live and work,” said Shallcross.
The highlight of Amica’s charitable streak in 2025 is its partnership with the Bolton Celtics to build a new early childhood education center in Providence, Rhode Island. Announced in mid-2025, the new center will support up to 42 young learners in a “safe, developmentally supportive environment” upon launch in late 2026.
Employees are matching Amica’s zest for community impact
Meanwhile, Amica’s employees have contributed their quota to Amica’s charitable initiatives. According to the press release, over half of Amica’s employees participated in giving and volunteer programs.
The company achieved impressive numbers by providing employees with paid time off each year to volunteer in their local communities. Furthermore, the company matches eligible employee contributions at 200%, with employee-directed giving climbing to a record-high of $2.5 million in 2025.
“Community giving is a core value woven into our culture, and we are proud that it has been truly embraced by our employees at every level of our organization,” added Shallcross.
As nonprofits navigate the uncertainties associated with reduced funding in 2026, several U US-based organizations are wading in to provide crucial support. In mid-February, the Municipal Credit Union (MCU) confirmed a donation of $150,000 to the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley (RMHGHV).
Outside of financial support, Chicago-based OneVoiceFocused is making a case for a franchise-inspired model to run nonprofit operations to prevent collapse.
