SUMMARY:Retirement and Health Benefits for Nonprofits: Mission-Driven Work Deserves Mission-Driven Benefits
DESCRIPTION:A live webinar with the Massachusetts 401(k) CORE Plan and Acrisure \n\n\nNonprofits work hard to care for communities — but who’s helping nonprofits care for their teams? In this free webinar\, explore the Massachusetts 401(k) CORE Plan\, and the Acrisure Group Health Collaborative Initiative.   Learn how collaborative scale and simplified oversight can support your organization’s long-term workforce strategy. \nThe Massachusetts 401(k) CORE Plan is a state-sponsored retirement plan solution designed to make high-quality 401(k) benefits more accessible and affordable to nonprofit employers who have between 1 and 100 employees.  The CORE Plan is purpose-built\, low cost\, and easy to understand. It offers a simple way to provide a retirement plan benefit to employees which is an area that many nonprofits are eager to strengthen but may find challenging to implement on their own.  This benefit is available now! \nThe Acrisure Group Health Collaborative knows that one of the most pressing issues for non-profit entities is the escalating costs of health insurance. Finding strong coverage at an affordable price continues to be one of the most challenging aspects of running an organization. Acrisure wants to help! The goal is to create a health insurance collaborative that will provide affordable premiums through group purchasing and extensive and flexible coverage options. Your help is needed to turn this initiative into a reality. \n\n\nSpeakers: Lisa Cardinal\, Massachusetts CORE Plan\, and Anthony Chandler\, Acrisure\n\nAbout the Presenters: This webinar is presented by Lisa Cardinal of the Massachusetts 401(k) CORE Plan and Anthony Chandler of Acrisure.
