GIVE Movement

The GIVE MOVEMENT is a Big I of SC statewide initiative inspired & led by our very own SC Young Agents and encourages all SC Independent agents, affiliates, and partners (customers, neighbors, and friends!) across the state to come together for one week (June 1-8, 2026) for something much bigger than a business: to give back to an incredibly inspirational and worthy cause.

DID YOU KNOW? The Give Movement is a National Big “I” Initiative. State achievements will be tracked by the Big “I” YA on a National level and we look forward to sharing how our agents & brokers, once again, come together to make things happen!

IIABSC Young Agents have been awarded nationally for their leadership in raising awareness and funds for our community partner MAW of SC. This national recognition is due to YOUR support and the difference we are making as an industry for MAW children in every area of our state.

TOP GIVERS ARE A KEY PART IN THE SUCESS OF THIS CAMPAIGN!

Attaining our fundraising goals would not be possible without the support of our TOP GIVERS. Top Givers are those who contribute $1,000 or more to the campaign between Jan. 1 and June 1 and are recognized as the highest-level supporters of our campaign and will be highlighted leading up to, during and after the campaign on our website, social media and fundraising leaderboard.

BENEFITS OF BEING A TOP GIVER:

• You will gain a complimentary attendee for an IIABSC event of your choice
• Your organization will receive recognition on the IIABSC website and across social media campaigns leading up to, during and after the campaign
• Your agency or company will be shared on social media by MAW of SC
• Top Givers have the option to either pay the full amount directly or partner with another agency and split their donation commitment (for Partnering Top agencies, a minimum of $3,000 is requested- $1,500 per agency).

Agencies can write a check to Make-A-Wish SC in full or choose to raise funds among agency staff, customers or carriers. For those raising funds, MAW has a variety of tools and ideas to help, including setting up your own landing page online to funnel your contributions.

Commitment form (see above) & Contribution paid in full deadline is May 15.

AFTER you submit your donation, you will receive a social media kit where you can download a “TOGETHER WE GIVE” image. We encourage all donors to post the image online or change your profile photo on your social media platforms in order to connect everyone who has joined our movement. Let’s see how many profile pictures we can change during our week of giving!

Each year at the YA Conference Top Givers are recognized on stage for their high level of support. A representative from Make-A-Wish SC is present to speak on the impact of our fundraising and we invite all of our Top Givers and Committee leaders to participate in presenting a large check in acknowledgement of all of the generous donors who have contributed and helped us grant wishes for wish children!

The mission of Make-A-Wish South Carolina is to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. All donations stay local within our state. Now more than ever your donations will have an incredible impact for local Wish Kids and their families.

South Carolina Trusted Choice started their partnership with Make-A-Wish South Carolina in 2012 and has donated nearly $150,000 in that time. The IIABSC Young Agents have raised more than $120,000 for Make-A-Wish since they started the GIVE Movement in 2020.

The total number of children in South Carolina waiting for their wishes to be granted is at an all time high of over 500. Each wish costs around $7,500 on average to grant. MAW of SC is on track to grant over 230 wishes in 2026 and hope to have the funding from efforts like the Give Movement to grant more.
