“The Cowan Foundation exists because of the success of the Princeton Holdings group of companies including Cowan Insurance Group, Frank Cowan Company, The Guarantee Company and Millennium CreditRisk Management,” explained Maureen Cowan, Chairman of The Cowan Foundation. “Our companies have been providing services to non-profits for approximately 85 years, so many of the charities we have been able to support over the years are also clients.”
“Community sustainability is really about partnerships in order to maximize investment of time, talent and resources: partnerships between businesses, charitable entities, government agencies and other community stakeholders. The more interdependent communities are, the healthier they are,” says Terry Reidel, Executive Director of The Cowan Foundation and Chair of Cowan Holdco. Since inception in 1995, The Cowan Foundation has donated over 18 million dollars and we look forward to supporting many more organizations in the future with continued growth in our businesses.”
