AssuranceAmerica Donates $100,000 to Atlanta Nonprofit

On December 16, AssuranceAmerica CFO Daniel Scruggs joined Executive Chairman Guy Millner and CEO Joe Skruck, as they gathered in a safe and socially distant manner— in front of all 245 associates via company-wide Zoom call—to gift The Extension with a $100,000 check. Scruggs, who joined the nonprofit’s board in 2019 said, “I’ve been blown away by the sheer amount of work The Extension has been able to do. We couldn’t be happier that our company has been able to give back in this manner.” In a year of tragedy and hardship, it was an impactful moment that left both organizations feeling ready to take on the next challenge. You read that correctly; this event was just the beginning.

The initial $100,000 donation goes toward funding the general operating and off-site housing costs so more residents can be served by the organization. In addition, AssuranceAmerica has promised to match every dollar raised by The Extension, up to $1 million, for the nonprofit’s Capital Campaign. Tyler Driver, the executive director of The Extension, says this momentum is exactly what the organization needs, “As the single largest private gift in our history, it sets the tone for the fundraising that must be done and serves as a vote of confidence in our ability to achieve our goals. Other donors understand that such a significant amount from AssuranceAmerica would not be done lightly and therefore signals how relevant and important our plans are.”
