About Surplus Line Association of Arizona Foundation

The Surplus Line Association of Arizona Foundation’s largest recent grants go to the WSIA Education Foundation, with awards of $400,000 in 2025 and $375,000 in 2023, alongside additional six-figure support in 2024. That pattern points to a funder that sustains insurance-sector education as well as Arizona-based human services. The foundation also backs emergency food providers and shelter-centered nonprofits, including Paz De Cristo Community Center in Mesa and St. Marys Food Bank Alliance in Phoenix, both recurring recipients in the recent grants list. Its giving is split between industry-focused work and direct community relief. On the industry side, the foundation supports insurance training and continuing education through organizations such as Insurance Training and Education Center Inc in Phoenix. On the community side, it funds food banks, food recovery groups, and organizations serving people experiencing homelessness. The recent grants also show support for disaster response through Samaritans Purse for Maui fire relief, Mississippi disaster relief, and Kentucky flood relief fund. Across those categories, the foundation tends to make general and unrestricted awards, with several recipients appearing in multiple years.
