PIA National Disaster Relief Fund Distributions

PIA National said thanks to generous support from Progressive, all of the Disaster Relief Funds gathered over the last couple of months have been successfully distributed to those in need.

In its news release, PIA National said it dispersed $99,825 to 43 grant recipients. One of those was PIA Washington member, Tony Williams of Affordable Insurance in Spokane. His agency was hurt by the Gray Fire in Spokane County and received a small grant. 

“While this distribution is an important step, we know that much work remains to help agents fully recover [from disasters]. To that end, we are reaching out to solicit additional funds from our Partnership carriers, company partners, and members,” PIA National said in its news release. “Our goal is to ensure that PIA members and other independent insurance agents continue to receive the support they need to get back on their feet during difficult times. PIA is now accepting donations on its website for PIA Disaster Relief Funds.”

PIA National said grants were dispersed in Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Louisiana, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.
