In the Community
Giving back is the driving force behind PrimeGroup Insurance. We are active and charitable in the local communities in which we live and do business. PGI contributes to many charities and organizations in our community such as: The Ryan Nece Foundation, American Cancer Society, Junior Achievement, Metropolitan Ministries, and Children’s Foundations, to name a few. It continues to amaze us that in addition to this so many of our employees are involved with local charities on their own time.
