Its mission is to foster knowledge and awareness among consumers and the media regarding insurance issues.
Insurance companies have a critical stake in the health and safety of communities.
Realizing this, WIC presented a model project to Seattle's Weed and Seed representatives. Weed and Seed is a federally funded grant to the Police Department and the Department of Housing and Human Services, which is designed to transform high crime areas into safe, livable neighborhoods. Currently, WIC is issuing another pilot program to be conducted in conjunction to SNAP, the Small SNAP Project Grant. The SNAP program is funded through the Insurance Fund Foundation and is run by SNAP Director Caryn Badgett. It is vital to the success of SNAP projects, that the selected community maintains primary control over the project and decisions surrounding it.
