Do Good Programs
How We Give
Grants, Memorial Donations, and Matching Gifts
In addition to providing grants to nonprofit organizations to help them build on their proven programs, we also make donations in memory of National Life Group employees and their immediate family members and match gifts to employees’ institutions of higher learning.
Every fall, National Life Group presents its Share the Good campaign which encourages employees to donate to their local, national, or international nonprofit(s) of choice. We then match those donations dollar for dollar, up to $2,000 per employee.

Volunteering
Another donation we encourage is that of time through volunteer hours. National Life Group is proud to offer 40 hours of paid volunteer time to its employees annually so they can further support the nonprofits they care about.
National Life Group's LifeChanger of the Year is an annual program recognizing K-12 educators and school employees across the country. Our program celebrates those who are making a significant difference in the lives of students by exemplifying excellence, positive influence and leadership. Financial awards are split between the school employee and their school. To learn more about LifeChanger of the Year, or to nominate a school employee today, visit www.lifechangeroftheyear.com.
In 2014, we did something to make a difference – and have some fun along the way. We invited our favorite bands to perform on our lawn and National Life Group Do Good Fest was born.
Seven years ago, we did something to help change that – and have some fun along the way. We invited our favorite bands to perform on our lawn. We paid for the whole thing and didn’t charge anything except for parking.
Each year since then, we’ve brought together the best that music has to offer with national touring acts like Noah Kahan, Rachel Platten, Fitz and the Tantrums, X Ambassadors, Plain White T’s, Guster, Phillip Phillips, and Michael Franti for a day of good music, good vibes, and good causes. We’ve hosted tens of thousands of attendees on our lawn and have raised millions for worthy causes in our community.
In 2022 we wanted to bring the fun to the communities around us in the Dallas area, and Do Good Fest in Texas was launched. Since then, we have hosted a variety of artists in Texas including Aaron Watson, Mark Chesnutt, Gangstagrass, and Jack Ingram. Just like in Vermont, it is all to raise money for worthy causes.
