Safeco Insurance Agent Giving Program: Make More Happen Awards

Living and working in our communities is one thing, but being involved and making a positive impact deserves something more.

At Safeco Insurance, we want to recognize agencies that make more happen in their communities through volunteering, and we want to multiply the impact of that good work with a donation to the nonprofit organization your agency supports.

To be considered for a Make More Happen Award for the nonprofit you support, submit a photo that shows you or members of your agency making more happen in your community, tell us what you did, and complete an application form that provides more details about your involvement and the organizations.

We will give away up to 52 Make More Happen Awards, each totaling $2,000, so there is plenty of opportunity to be selected.

And then we want to give away even more!

We'll be promoting the top 24 Make More Happen photos and captions in a special online event where the public will be invited to vote for their favorites. The top four vote-getters online will each win an additional $7,500 donation for the nonprofit they support.

To qualify for a Make More Happen Award, the nonprofit that your agency supports through volunteering must meet the required guidelines of the Safeco Insurance Agent Giving Program.

Applications for a Make More Happen Award can be submitted through July 10, 2012.

Tips for Make More Happen photos and captions

• Try to show what you did to make more happen. (Keep in mind that you might not be able to get everyone and everthing in one photo.)
• Make sure your phot provides a "sense of place." (Was this at a beach cleanup or an indoor paint party?)
• Make sure you have the permission of everyone in the photo. (If the face of anyone under the age of 18 shows in the photo, you must have permission from the youth's parent or guardian.)
• Write a simple caption that tells what you did to make more happen in your community. (The application form will provide details, but we're looking for a descriptive sentence like: We painted the kitchen for the Boys & Girls Club.)
