Living Our Values Fortegra
2022 ESG Report
The Patrick Heinold Foundation According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, suicide is the second-leading cause of death among people ages 15 to 24 in the United States; one in five high school students have reported serious thoughts of suicide. The Patrick Heinold Foundation promotes suicide prevention through programs dedicated to the well-being and mental health of our nation’s teens. Fortegra’s donation supports the organization’s annual 3 vs. 3 basketball tournament and program expansion. Mainspring Academy Mainspring Academy is a K-12 institution for children with developmental differences and physical disabilities. The school educates students based on their individualized needs and assists with their transition into adulthood. Fortegra’s contribution enabled the academy to enhance their programming, obtain SMART Tech Interactive Whiteboards, purchase a custom passenger van to facilitate transporting students, and expand its square footage to allow for more students. Bright Holidays Bright Holidays’ mission is to help improve the lives of underprivileged students and their families in the greater Jacksonville area during the holiday season. The organization works in partnership with area schools to identify families in need and facilitate delivery of gifts. Due to the organization’s volunteer-led efforts, 98% of donations are spent directly on the children. Each family receives nine new items for each of their children – shirt, jacket, pants, underwear, shoes, socks, sleeping bag, book, and toy; parents receive a grocery store gift card. High School 9:12 High School 9:12 is a non-profit designed to help high school students and athletes reach their full potential. For those who thought college was out of reach due to their family and financial situation, the High School 9:12 program seeks to help make their academic and athletic dreams possible. For the last five years, Fortegra has sponsored the organization’s Fortegra High School 9:12 Fortegra Basketball Invitational. Fortegra’s contribution aids in facilitating the event, as well as providing critical SAT/ACT tutoring to students.
