$10,000 Awarded to Portland’s Project Never Again

Thanks to the communities’ support, Elliott, Powell, Baden and Baker (EPB&B) has officially awarded a $10,000 donation to Portland’s Project Never Again, a local organization dedicated to extending compassion and dignity through duffel bags for children in foster care.

The $10,000 award will help Project Never Again to continue to purchase duffel bags, supplies for courage cards, and luggage tags for children in foster care, with the hope that no child will have to carry their personal items in a garbage bag.

Marc Baker, President of EPB&B, originally received a $5,000 donation for ProjectNever Again thanks to a submission process with Liberty Mutual® and Safeco Insurance® through their 2022 Make More Happen™ Awards. A story of their local partnership was featured on the official Make More Happen microsite, www.agentgiving.com/Elliott-Powell-Baden-Baker, where EPB&B had the opportunity to raise an additional $5,000 by conducting a local awareness campaign for the nonprofit. Together with the community, the goal was met increasing the total donation to $10,000 for Project Never Again!

Throughout 2022, Liberty Mutual® and Safeco Insurance® will select up to 37 independent agents nationwide for a Make More Happen Award and Liberty Mutual® and Safeco Insurance® will donate up to $370,000 to the nonprofits supported by independent insurance agents. Agencies became eligible for the award by submitting an application and photos demonstrating their commitment to a specific nonprofit.
