Grinnell Mutual reaches United Way giving goal

Grinnell Mutual employee donations and matching funds from the Grinnell Mutual Group Foundation raised more than $140,000 during the company’s 2025 United Way fundraising campaign. Employees pledged over $70,000, exceeding the company’s $65,000 goal, as they have for at least 10 consecutive years. The foundation contributed a 100 percent match to employee giving.

“Grinnell Mutual's outstanding employees have a long-standing tradition of supporting the United Way annual campaign. Our staff care about our company, our customers, their colleagues, and the communities in which they live,” said Grinnell Mutual CEO, Jeff Menary. “Giving back is a big part of who we are and contributing to United Way is a great way for us to make a positive impact in our local communities.”

Funds from the campaign will be distributed to several different communities’ United Way, United Funds, and Community Chest organizations where Grinnell Mutual employees live.

Director of Advertising and Community Relations Barb Baker said, “Grinnell Mutual employees have always supported the company’s annual United Way fund drive with generous donations to their local communities, and with the matching funds from the Grinnell Mutual Group Foundation, we’re able to make a real difference. We are proud to see our employees’ passion to help their neighbors and home communities.”
