Insurance Services of Washington has officially awarded a $10,000 donation to Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the development of new treatments and ultimately a cure for pulmonary fibrosis.

The $10,000 donation will allow PFF to further its mission and support those impacted by pulmonary fibrosis by researching new treatments and medicine and advocating for local and national legislation to make it easier to access supplemental oxygen, which many patients rely on in their daily lives.

Initially, Insurance Services of Washington received a $5,000 donation for PFF through the Liberty Mutual® and Safeco Insurance® 2025 Make More Happen™ Awards program. After their story was featured on the Make More Happen microsite at https://www.agentgiving.com/insurance-services-washington/, the community rallied with over 500 votes and comments – triggering a matching donation and bringing the total to $10,000.
