Packing with Purpose

by | Jul 8, 2025 | Blogs, Charitable Trust, Diversity and Inclusion, Employee Volunteerism, Employees Give Back, Insurance Industry Efforts, Intact Donations

This summer our Canton team partnered with School on Wheels of Massachusetts (SOWMA) , our local Community Engagement nonprofit partner, to help students impacted by homelessness and poverty prepare for the upcoming school year. To date, SOWMA has provided backpacks and school supplies to more than 60,000 students.

SOWMA’s mission is to support the academic, social, and emotional growth of students experiencing housing instability. For many of these students, a backpack isn’t just a school supply — it’s their personal space and a symbol of stability.

About the Charitable Trust

The Intact Charitable Trust gives back to those nonprofits that matter most to members of the Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions Community. Through its charitable giving program, the Trust supports Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions employee and producer volunteer, leadership and philanthropic efforts. The Trust additionally advances education through a matching gift program and a college scholarship program. And lastly, the Trust also supports organizations providing emergency assistance anywhere in the world in the aftermath of a natural disaster or during a state emergency.

We are pleased to share the Trust’s activity, reinforcing our community’s spirit of giving and compassion.

All organizations receiving donations from the Trust must qualify as a nonprofit under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 § 501(c)(3).
