New collaboration will provide vital resources and support for IICF’s extensive philanthropy platform

Alliant Insurance Services and Confie, an Alliant company, have joined forces as Key Partners with The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF), a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to community engagement and philanthropy across the insurance industry. This collaboration will provide additional resources and support for a range of critical causes in communities nationwide.

“IICF has a powerful and longstanding record of supporting local communities through service and financial contributions, which aligns directly with our mission and values,” said Diana Kiehl, Chief Administrative Officer, Alliant Insurance Services. “We look forward to finding and creating new opportunities to help make a positive difference in our industry and our world.”

This partnership also will further enhance Alliant’s breadth of existing charitable initiatives. Key programs at Alliant include March Madness “Brackets for a Cause,” which raises funds to combat cancer and other chronic diseases, and its annual World Food Derby, held in conjunction with World Food Day, aimed at eliminating global hunger and supporting at-risk communities nationwide. Alliant is also engaged in a wide range of local office initiatives that focus on improving the communities where employees live and work.

“Through our partnership with IICF, Alliant will have access to a broader network of charitable opportunities, further enhancing our ability to make a significant impact,” Kiehl continued. “Together, we'll create new possibilities for meaningful change, strengthening the bonds between our industry and the communities we serve.”

In addition to the Key Partnership, seven Alliant employees have been appointed to serve on IICF boards. They are:
