2023 Agent Charitable Fund Contributions

Farm Bureau Insurance agents across the state founded the Agent Charitable Fund (ACF) to come together as an agency force to fund grants to end childhood hunger. The ACF believes in unleashing the power of Farm Bureau agents to end hunger in Michigan through education, financial support, and community engagement. Through the ACF, agents have access to grants and matching donation opportunities for Michigan schools and other community programs.

The ACF is made possible through the generous contributions of agents, employees, members, and insureds. Steve has directed $4,000 to four nonprofits through the Sanilac Freeze-Out Hunger campaign. The idea for Freeze-Out Hunger started at a Sanilac County Board Meeting and was made possible by the partnership of the county, Steve, and fellow agent Bill Angerbrandt. Due to the collaboration of the county and agents together, they were able to help feed hungry neighbors.

In 2023 the ACF gave $175,000 in grants to schools, food banks and community organizations, provided 875,000 meals and supported 85 organizations/schools.
