Force for good

See how Pinnacol is a force for good in our community.

We're a company founded on a principle of caring. After all, we began with a promise to protect Colorado employers and employees. That commitment to our community continues to guide us. In fact, in 2019, Pinnacol was named one of the 50 most community-minded companies in Colorado.

Here's how we were a force for good in 2019.

Offering hope through education

In 2019, the Pinnacol Foundation awarded $474,890 in scholarships to 100 students. The foundation's mission is to ensure that children of Colorado workers killed or seriously injured on the job have the opportunity to pursue their educational goals – whether that's a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering or a certificate in welding. Since the foundation's inception in 2000, we've awarded nearly $5.5 million in scholarships to more than 550 students.

Taking time to make a difference

Serving others is what we do – in our work and in our lives. In 2019, 68% of Pinnacol employees took time to volunteer. Collectively, we volunteered 4,738 hours through our employee-led volunteer program, Pinnacol in Action.
