No business cares more about community than Ford Insurance Agency
We are passionate about giving back and supporting our local, Grand Traverse County area. Our agents don’t just donate to organizations, they also spend their time singing to the elderly, working food drives and doing almost anything to support non-profits and people in need in our region. We’re proud of the goodness that our agents exude both in and outside of the office.

Ford Insurance Agency ACTS Program
We love our community and we take pride in our town. We understand our employees like to volunteer their time too and sometimes a volunteer opportunity might fall during the work day. We developed our Ford Acts program to encourage employees to take some time to volunteer in the community even if it’s during the work week.
We give each employee the opportunity to take up to 15 hours of paid volunteer time each year to work for local non-profits, sing to the elderly, help clean up our beaches, or just volunteer for whatever cause they are passionate about.
