Recipient of Travelers Excellence in Community
Resilience Award to receive $100,000
The Travelers Foundation, the charitable arm of The Travelers
Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV), today announced that it is accepting
applications for its annual Travelers Excellence in Community
Resilience Award. The award recognizes nonprofits that are
dedicated to helping communities prepare for and recover from
catastrophic events. The winning organization will receive a
$100,000 grant, presented at a disaster preparedness symposium in
spring 2019, hosted by the company’s public policy division, the
Travelers Institute.
“Ensuring that the appropriate disaster preparation, response
and recovery plans are in place can make a significant difference
in the amount of time it takes for a community to bounce back after
a catastrophe occurs,” said Marlene Ibsen, CEO and President of the
Travelers Foundation. “The Travelers Excellence in Community
Resilience Award helps organizations fulfill their mission of
creating stronger neighborhoods through disaster mitigation and
response.”
