Heffernan Insurance Brokers is not only a leading brokerage and employer, but also a top philanthropist, showing a consistent commitment to charity with yearly donations that average more than 10% of its profits. The company has surpassed $100 million in revenue by focusing on niche practices such as nonprofit, healthcare, hospitality and technology.
As a gesture of its commitment to people, in 2006 the company created the Heffernan Foundation to support charities addressing the basic needs – shelter, food, education – of local communities. In 2014, Heffernan formed its Women of Influence group to support women professionals and business leaders and cater to their needs for networking, mentoring and growth.
