Stewardship

Continental Western Group actively funds charitable organizations in our local service areas in conjunction with the W.R. Berkley Corporation Charitable Foundation.  With the emphasis on Health and Human Services, Community Betterment, Youth Development, Education and Arts, CWG reviews requests for 501(c)(3) status charitable donations semi-annually.  Fundamental to award determination is consideration of each program’s demonstrated efficiency (maximizing goals while minimizing administrative costs), support by company volunteers, advancement of CWG employee well-being, and relationship to our area of business.
