We seek out and collaborate with community leaders, other values-aligned social change organizations, foundations, individual philanthropists, and regional SVPs to co-create an ecosystem where magic happens β the magic of increased experimentation, rapid learning, and local-regional-national-global connections.
In cultivating and expanding this network together:
We catalyze more resources
We catalyze and mobilize financial resources β both our own and from others β applying them toward cross-sector and multi-community solutions and innovations. We shift these resources away from traditional systems that only benefit a few, and we move them to collective and collaborative approaches that benefit many.
We disrupt traditional philanthropy
We demonstrate ways to disrupt and shift traditional philanthropy, moving it from being individualistic and disconnected to being community-centered in addressing root causes of injustice. We are embedded in the communities we serve, co-creating with them for the long-haul, not just in single touch points.
We influence change
We inspire individual philanthropists to understand the priorities that communities have β and how to strategically partner, fund, and give agency to community leaders in advancing change.

At NFP, our solutions and expertise are matched only by our personal commitment to each client's goals. As a leading insurance brokerage and consulting firm, we provide employee benefits, property & casualty, retirement, and individual insurance and wealth management solutions.
With more than 100 local benefit professionals, and the global scale of a Top 10 insurance and advisory firm, we are uniquely positioned to deliver outstanding service as well as significant financial savings to our clients. Our national breadth allows us to leverage best in class resources while our local presence allows us to deliver those resources with uncommon strategic vision, personal attention and a solid commitment to building long-term client partnerships.
Our history is a story of experience, growth and entrepreneurial spirit that continues to this day. We began helping employers find cost-effective benefit solutions in 1993. Under the leadership of the organizationβs owners, J. Lawrence Hager and Christopher Gavigan, our firm (Charon Planning) quickly evolved into a thriving, full-service benefits consulting organization.
In 2000, we joined NFP as a premier health and welfare practice with a strong regional presence. At that time, we were a boutique consulting firm and NFP was aspiring to become a national industry leader in the employee benefits marketplace. Fast forward to 2015 and we are one of the top firms in the region and NFP is one of the largest benefits brokers in the world. In addition to Health & Welfare benefits consulting, NFP has built best in class practice areas for Retirement Services, Executive Benefits, International Benefits, and Property & Casualty Insurance.
