At Rathbun Insurance, Being There Matters Most—and in 2025, that belief translated into meaningful action, partnership, and investment across the communities we serve.
In 2025, Rathbun Insurance contributed more than $57,000 in direct community support. Through our valued partnership with Auto-Owners Insurance and the strategic use of co-op dollars, we were able to invest an additional $14,000 into local organizations and initiatives. Combined, Rathbun Insurance and our carrier partnerships invested more than $73,000 into the community in 2025—supporting nonprofits, events, and programs that strengthen, uplift, and connect our neighbors.
Financial contributions are only part of the story. In 2025, our team proudly showed up in person—hosting community booths, volunteering time, and engaging directly with the people and organizations that make our region thrive.
This year, Rathbun Insurance participated in and supported community events including Cristo Rey Fiesta, ScrapFest, Lansing Pride, Juneteenth, Hispanic Heritage Weekend, and monthly Bread Basket Food Pantry events at Allen Neighborhood Center. These events represent more than dates on a calendar—they are celebrations of culture, resilience, creativity, and connection. We are honored to be present in these spaces and to stand alongside our community partners.
Community engagement is woven into our company culture—not assigned, but embraced. We support over 20 local charities annually. One hundred percent of our employees participate in our employee volunteer program, with our team collectively spending more than 120 volunteer hours in local communities in 2024. Five employees currently serve on nonprofit boards, and ten employees are active members of local nonprofit organizations. This level of involvement reflects a shared commitment among our team to lead with purpose, empathy, and responsibility.
Our dedication to community is rooted in our history. In 2022, Rathbun Insurance sponsored the naming rights of the Rathbun Accelerator Kitchen in honor of the late Paul Rathbun and his deep belief in investing in people, opportunity, and the greater good. That legacy continues to guide our work today—fueling our desire to create lasting impact well beyond insurance policies and transactions.
As we reflect on 2025, we are deeply grateful to our partners, nonprofit leaders, employees, and neighbors who make this work possible. Community giving isn’t something we do on the side—it’s central to who we are. We look forward to continuing this momentum, expanding our impact, and finding new ways to show up for the communities that have trusted Rathbun Insurance for generations.
Thank you for being part of our story.
