Through this annual tradition, LWCC reinforces its commitment to our home state, demonstrating that by coming together, we can create meaningful change and build a stronger, more resilient Louisiana for generations to come.

Transforming Tradition

In lieu of a traditional holiday gift to agent partners, LWCC now invites agent partners to nominate Louisiana-based nonprofits to receive a financial contribution to support their continued work.

Commitment to Community

The Holiday Giving Program encourages agent partners and community members across the state to get involved by nominating and voting for local nonprofits, fostering a sense of unity and collective effort to uplift our communities.

Awareness & Advocacy

The Holiday Giving Program helps raise awareness of Louisiana’s various nonprofit organizations and their missions. By highlighting different causes and the work being done by these groups, this initiative advocates for broader support and engagement from the community, driving long-term positive change.

Charitable Giving

A central theme of this initiative is promoting the spirit of giving, especially during the holiday season. It highlights the importance of generosity and encourages individuals and businesses to contribute to charitable causes, emphasizing the impact of collective philanthropic efforts.

Program Details

The Holiday Giving Program is a multi-step initiative that invites LWCC’s agent partners and the broader community to help select worthy nonprofits for financial support.

  1. Nonprofit nominations are submitted by LWCC’s agent partners.
  2. Up to three nonprofits are selected as finalists. Nominees are evaluated based on mission and efforts to elevate Louisiana.
  3. The general public votes for one of the selected finalists via our website.
  4. A total gift of $20,000 is distributed to the nonprofit finalists on behalf of LWCC’s agent partners. Each nonprofit receives a share of the gift proportionate to the percentage of votes received.

The agents who nominated the finalists will be recognized in the contest promotions during public voting and will have the opportunity to participate in the check presentation.
