Lending a hand in my community.
I was grateful to be a recipient of Northwestern Mutual’s 2023 Community Service Award. The $15,000 grant I received went to The Family Effect, a non-profit that raises funds for the Phoenix Center which is an agency that provides quality treatment services to help prevent family collapse and harm to children caused by addiction.

As a funder, partner and convener, United Way works with the entire community to build resources, focus investments and foster partnerships that create lasting solutions to major issues.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
