The three pillars of the foundation include providing opportunities and support in Bermuda related to education, the environment, and the economy. The foundation’s inaugural grants focus on:

  • Education: building a pipeline of talented professionals at the earliest ages through a partnership with Planet Math, as well as establishment of a Global Atlantic Re scholarship fund for college students.

  • Environment: partnerships with environmental organizations whose missions are aligned to make Bermuda, and the planet, a cleaner place to live.

  • Economy: collaboration with the Bermuda Economic Development Corporation to provide a small business accelerator grant through a business pitch event to give entrepreneurs a financial path to create jobs and boost revenue on the island.

"We are truly excited about the opportunity to continue contributing to Bermuda’s economic growth," said Darryl Herrick, President of Global Atlantic Re and Co-Head of Reinsurance. "The island has an abundance of inspiring organizations doing compelling work to serve the greater good for all Bermudians, and we believe our contributions will play a key role in further amplifying their impact."
