NSM Insurance Group Donates $100,000 to Independence Missions Schools
CONSHOHOCKEN, PA (April 8, 2020) – NSM Insurance Group, the nation’s leading specialty insurance provider, has donated $100,000 to Independence Mission Schools (IMS), a network of independently financed Catholic schools throughout the Philadelphia region. NSM’s contribution will help IMS supply computers, resources and tuition assistance to children and families. These resources will allow children to continue their education remotely while educational institutions are closed due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Geof McKernan, Chief Executive Officer of NSM, stated, “It is important to give back. Due to the closure of schools nationwide, not all children and students have access to computers and the ability to keep learning. We wanted to make sure no child is left behind and can continue their education during this time. Our partnership with IMS rings true to our continued message of giving back and helping those less fortunate.”
Michelle Brown, Chief Development Officer of IMS, stated, “There are not enough words to express our gratitude for the generosity of NSM in supporting our students and families in this way. During this time of uncertainty for so many, being able to provide stability through distance learning with the use of Chromebooks means so much to our students. Support from wonderful partners like NSM we will help us do everything possible to continue serving those who rely on and trust in us.”
NSM and IMS were brought together by Families Behind the Badge who also donated $100,000. They all share mutual interest in supporting early education for the local community. Both organizations plan to continue this partnership in order to help maintain affordable and rigorous academic education for underserved communities in the Philadelphia region.
