Community Impact Grants Program

Photography by Clark Jones

Are you an agent, field manager or general office employee involved in your local community?

 New York Life’s mission is not limited to our business activities; we are equally committed to enhancing the quality of life in the communities we serve.

A corporate program created exclusively for our field managers, agents, and General Office (G.O.) employees, the Community Impact Grants Program supports local philanthropic and business interests, further enhancing your office’s reputation as a socially responsible corporate citizen.

To be eligible, a project must have personal involvement by the applicant and others from the G.O.; address the needs of the local community where New York Life agents, employees and clients work and live; and demonstrate New York Life’s commitment to being the company of the community. Priority is given to projects with a child/youth focus, but other content areas are considered. Potential for increased involvement by New York Life agents and employees will also influence a project’s rating.

Examples of Eligible Requests

• Projects in partnership with schools, social services agencies, etc.
• Community events such as child safety days, car seat education, etc.
• Financial literacy and educational workshops/activities
• Youth enrichment/educational programs
• Community improvement projects, such as low-income housing and playground construction or rehabilitation
• Field managers and G.O. employees with one or more years of continuous full-time service
• Proactive agents who have been under contract for at least 24 months and are Council members for the last two consecutive years (current year and prior year)
• Lifetime Council members
