2015 Assurant Annual Report | 5
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
HOMES MATTER
The Assurant Foundation encourages fresh starts by supporting charitable organizations with a focus on
homes and property. With helping hands, employees across Assurant take hammers to nails, paint to walls and
compassion to communities as they help build strong foundations for homes — literally.
Assurant employees have built 15 Habitat for
Humanity homes in Miami to provide affordable
housing for low-income families in neighborhoods
near Assurant’s ofce. In Atlanta, employees donned
their tool belts in the spring of 2015 to participate in
their fourteenth home build with an annual, eight-
week Habitat event in Cobb County. Assurant also is
the longest-running “whole house” partner of Habitat
for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta. We also
partner with and support Habitat for Humanity to
help families in communities we serve in California,
Minnesota and Ohio.
FINANCIAL EDUCATION MATTERS
Assurant reinforces the importance of nancial literacy by supporting nonprot partners such as Junior
Achievement. In greater Atlanta, Assurant is a lead sponsor with multi-year commitments to two Junior
Achievement Discovery Centers – one that opened in the Georgia World Congress Center in 2013 and another in
Gwinnett County that debuted in August 2015.
Through hands-on experiences at the Discovery Center, students from metro Atlanta school systems learn
personal budgeting and nancial skills. Assurant maintains an insurance “store” at the Center’s Finance Park,
where students can learn about the importance of insurance and how it can help them and their families
safeguard their future. During the past two years,
nearly 100 Assurant employees have volunteered
regularly to help students at the Discovery Center
in Atlanta and in local classrooms.
The JA Atlanta Discovery Center serves 30,000
students per year, involves 6,000 volunteers from
leading companies in greater Atlanta and supports
the educational efforts of 1,200 teachers. The JA
Gwinnett Discovery Center is expected to serve
25,000 more students, engage another 6,000
volunteer partners and support approximately
1,200 teachers each year.
