ATLANTA, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Through their businesses, World Financial Group's (WFG) licensed, independent agents help people achieve better financial futures through the life insurance products and solutions they offer. The financial independence they can achieve through their businesses also affords additional benefits, such as the ability to give back to charities, hospitals and other organizations in need.

WFG agents responded, raising more than $850,000 to disperse to charities, through The WFG Foundation in the United States and the WFG Charitable Trust in Canada, including Feed America, Food Banks of Canada, the International Rescue Committee, Charity Water and Education Without Borders. Additionally, in Canada, a group of agents donated $280,000, including $25,000 from the WFG Charitable Trust, to hospitals and foodbanks across Canada.

Charitable donations are not the only way that WFG agents give back. Many volunteer their time at charitable organizations that provide food to people in need. Others helped deliver protective gear in support of essential workers on the front lines due to the pandemic.

Through The WFG Foundation in the United States and the WFG Charitable Trust in Canada, WFG agents can request matching funds for charities in their communities. These donations have become even more important as some not-for-profit organizations and healthcare facilities have experienced difficulties keeping up with the demands placed on them due to the COVID-19 crisis.

"The independent life insurance agents who comprise WFG are able to give back to their communities and to organizations that are important to them," said Susan Davies, President, The WFG Foundation. "Not only do they have the resources to do so, but because they set their own schedules, they can more easily set aside time to volunteer."
