The history of New York Life is about being there when we are needed, for our customers and for the thousands of communities where we work and live. Our agents and employees contributed over 136,500 hours of volunteer work and millions of dollars in donations in 2018 alone. The New York Life Foundation has contributed over $250 million since its founding in 1979, with a focus on helping children who have suffered the loss of a loved one, and on educational enhancement.
The selfless actions of our people reflect our value of humanity, and our shared belief that New York Life not only has the ability—but also the responsibility—to help people in the communities where we live and work.
