August 25, 2026

In 2022, we proudly established the Robertson Ryan Charitable Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our dedicated team at Robertson Ryan is committed to making a difference through donations, volunteer work, and impactful community support.
At our recent Summer Agent Meeting, we were proud to award 12 charitable donations to nonprofit organizations nominated by our agents. Each organization holds special meaning for the agents who support and volunteer with them throughout the year.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to give back to these organizations:
- Wisconsin Homeless Veterans Initiative will receive a $5,000 donation in honor of Jeff Tjugum
- Hermitage Hall will receive a $3,000 donation in honor of Ryan Taylor
- Camp I Am Me by Illinois Fire Safety Alliance will receive a $2,000 donation in honor of Dan Barnett
- Just One More Ministry, Inc. will receive a $1,500 donation in honor of D.J. Rodrian
- EB Legal Aid Society will receive a $1,000 donation in honor of Freddy Ewan

- Haase House will receive a $500 donation in honor of Jim Dunker

The meeting also included an opportunity for agents to support the American Red Cross of Wisconsin. The Foundation presented a donation, and attendees worked together to assemble 100 emergency preparedness kits for individuals and families affected by future emergencies and disasters.
This support was especially meaningful as the Menasha and Appleton communities recover from a recent tornado. The American Red Cross helps communities prepare for emergencies, provides immediate assistance when disasters occur and supports families throughout the recovery process. We are grateful for their partnership and the important work they provide across Wisconsin.
Allan Degner, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communications, shared, “Supporting nonprofit organizations is about more than providing resources. It is about helping people, strengthening communities and creating positive change that lasts. Community involvement has long been part of who we are at Robertson Ryan, and we are proud of the generosity, time and passion our team members contribute to these efforts.”
