The nonprofit charitable arm of the nationwide, Waukee-headquartered risk management and insurance brokerage Holmes Murphy announced it has given more than $120,000 in contributions to 25 nonprofit organizations. According to a news release, the foundation increased its philanthropic giving by 20% over last year. The funds were distributed to 25 nonprofits through the Holmes Murphy Foundation Community Footprints Program. Since 2020 when the program launched, the foundation has made more than $500,000 in charitable contributions over 125 nonprofits. “Giving back to the communities where we live, work and play has been a staple of the Holmes Murphy way dating back to our founders, Max Holmes and Ray Murphy,” said Dan Keough, Holmes Murphy chairman and CEO. “Knowing that we’ve been able to continue this tradition into our 92nd year, I’m positive Max and Ray would be incredibly proud. They always believed we all play a vital role in caring for those around us, and I know all of us at Holmes Murphy are honored to keep this tradition alive.”
