Mission & Focus Areas
WIND’s stated mission is to foster cooperation among windstorm insurance professionals on the application of insurance and claims practices through education, training, and the encouragement of high ethical standards and professionalism.
Its grantmaking includes disaster-relief contributions and support for an annual endowed scholarship at Florida State University’s School of Business, Department of Risk Management. In 2025, its listed disaster-relief grants included support for organizations responding to hurricanes and wildfires. Among those grantees, World Central Kitchen describes its mission as providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. Mountain Projects says it works to improve lives and communities in Haywood and Jackson counties, and Feeding Georgia says it coordinates the work of seven regional food banks to fight hunger in Georgia.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, WIND reported 11 grants totaling $145,000. Grant amounts ranged from $5,000 to $75,000, with a median of $5,000. The largest grants were $75,000 to the FSU Foundation for the FSU Endowment Fund, and $12,500 each to World Central Kitchen and Mountain Projects for efforts benefiting people affected by Hurricane Helene. Its 2026 filing, the latest on this page, reports 1 grant totaling $17,655.
Other listed 2025 grants included $10,000 to the American Red Cross North Florida Region for Floridians affected by Hurricane Milton; $5,000 each to World Central Kitchen and the Humane Society of the United States for wildfire relief; $5,000 to the American Red Cross Georgia Region and $5,000 to Feeding Georgia for hurricane relief; and two $5,000 grants to Project Hope for Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton relief efforts in Florida and Georgia.
WIND’s filing narrative says the organization budgets for donations annually; when it identifies a need, the board votes on the total to give. Staff, a board member, or the treasurer researches potential recipient organizations, considering their reach, work, reputation, and ability to accept funds restricted for natural-disaster assistance. After a donation is made, recipients may spend the funds as they see fit and are not required to report back to WIND.
WIND also funds an annual scholarship for eligible undergraduate and graduate students majoring in Risk Management at Florida State University’s College of Business. This is scholarship support for students, not an outside-organization grant opportunity. Applicants must have at least a 2.5 GPA and be in good standing with the college. Financial need is considered; greater consideration is given to scholarship, leadership, character, and community service, with preference for dependents of WIND members. Recipients must write to WIND acknowledging the award.
