Charitable Giving in the Property Casualty Insurance Industry

In 2010, the industry gave more than $500 million to charity.  Most of this giving was in the form of direct cash contributions from companies (80 percent); the remaining 20 percent includes estimated employee donations of cash or volunteer hours.

This level of giving is comparable to other industries. As a percent of pre-tax earnings, the industry’s contributions are slightly above average at 89 basis points, compared to 78 basis points across all industries (Exhibit 1). As a per- cent of revenue, the industry is in line with other industries at 10 basis points, the average across all industries.

Most charitable giving was directed to causes that are widely supported by corporate America, including education (34 percent), health and social services (20 percent), community and economic development (18 percent)… See the full report
