About Assurant Foundation
Assurant Foundation’s recorded grantmaking is tightly centered on housing and shelter, with its largest recent award going to Habitat for Humanity International for $298,937 in 2024. That grant aligns with the foundation’s stated focus on affordable homebuilding, homeownership, housing repair, and shelter access for low-income households. The recent grants list shows a pattern of support for housing stability and related community services rather than a broad set of unrelated causes. Beyond housing, the foundation’s grant list includes recurring support for emergency response and basic-needs intermediaries. American Red Cross received $261,813 in 2024 and $249,648 in 2023, while United Way Miami Inc received $233,328 in 2024 and $175,923 in 2024, reflecting support for established nonprofit partners with broad community reach. The foundation also appears to favor organizations with national or multi-site operations, including Move for Hunger, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and Wounded Warriors Family Support, alongside place-based funding in Atlanta, Miami, and other U.S. cities.
What Assurant Foundation Funds
Housing is the clearest throughline. Assurant Foundation gave $298,937 in 2024 to Habitat for Humanity International Inc for Financial Assistance, matching its stated emphasis on homebuilding, homeownership, repair, and shelter access. A second thread is disaster and emergency support. The foundation awarded $261,813 in 2024 to the American Red Cross for Financial Assistance, and that same organization also received $249,648 in 2023, indicating repeated support for response and relief work. The grant list also points to community wellbeing and local opportunity. Junior Achievement of Georgia Inc received $205,000 in 2023 and $205,000 in 2024, while United Way of Greater Atlanta Inc received $84,430 in 2024. These awards place the foundation within education, community support, and broader nonprofit infrastructure rather than a single program model.
How Assurant Foundation Gives
Assurant Foundation’s typical grant size is small relative to its largest awards: the p25 is $51, the median is $168, and the p75 is $800. The recent grant list, however, includes much larger financial-assistance awards, showing that a small share of grants account for substantial dollars. The foundation is classified as a regular funder and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its recent records also show repeat support across years and to the same organizations, including multiple awards in 2023 and 2024 to several nonprofits. The active program description says Assurant’s foundation grantmaking and matching gifts support nonprofit organizations, but the website does not describe a public application process or funding guidelines.
