While Hurricane Harvey is quite a force, there is nothing like the strength of humanity. As stated by Barry Zyskind, Chairman, President and CEO of AmTrust Financial Services to AmTrust employees
We at AmTrust & your team at First Nonprofit Group (FNG) are committed to providing our clients, insureds and agents in Houston, Corpus Christi and other communities in Texas and Louisiana with the support and service they need to get back on their feet as soon as possible. We also want to provide aid to those that may need help. Our parent company, AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., has committed a $100,000 corporate donation to First Nonprofit Foundation which will identify and donate to nonprofits in the affected storm areas to aid them in long-term rebuilding efforts. In addition, AmTrust will match employee donations of FNG team and all employees in the AmTrust family of companies, to First Nonprofit Foundation up to an additional $100,000 providing up to another $200,000 to aid the Harvey recovery efforts.
First Nonprofit Foundation is a private grant-making organization, and certified 501c3 organization, that focuses on bolstering the nonprofit sector in the United States. AmTrust has been a long-time supporter.
Our hope is that the region, businesses, individuals, and those nonprofits who serve these areas affected by Hurricane Harvey will soon be back on their feet and thriving once again.

Working with Marshal Whittey at First Nonprofit has been a great experience. He handles our request as a priority and goes above and beyond to resolve any issues we have in a timely manner. Marshall follows through to the end and ensures our needs are met. He has been a great resource for LSC and our “go to” for any tax questions we may have. With LSC transitioning several facilities into one federal tax identification number, First Nonprofit was able to assist and provide guidance with best practices resolving claims to each entity. Additionally First Nonprofit provided knowledge (information materials) and one on one training to HRS group with best practices to handle claims state adjudicated, fraudulent claims, and appeals. And processing information in the First Nonprofit [unemployment claims] system allows for timely information can be collected.
My experience with FNP has been wonderful. Unemployment in general is quite confusing and FNP has simplified the process for us. Everyone we have reached out to or worked with has been very helpful and follows up to be sure we understand the information. I am so happy we made the switch to FNP!
First Nonprofit smoothed the unemployment perils for our organization during Covid. Without the ability to cap our UI exposure, we would not have been able to weather the storm. The program worked perfectly and we have come out of the pandemic ready to forge on. Thanks FNP!
My experience with the FNP has been fantastic. The idea of setting funds aside for the unemployment tax liability is a bedrock for nonprofit organizations like mine, namely ASHBA; what is even more advantageous is having the FNP as a custodian of those funds. 100% recommended!
I would like to comment on my experience with FNP….to date our District has saved $1,000’s of dollars by being enrolled in the First Nonprofit program. My only regret is that we did not know about this method of paying unemployment tax years ago….as I had figured about five years
ago, had we enrolled 15-20 years ago, we could have saved our small school district upwards of $500,000 in payments to IDES. Also we would have had a pretty hefty sum of money in our Reserve Account. Thankfully I attended a workshop hosted by First Nonprofit back in 2015 which got the ball rolling!
I have worked with the First Non-Profit Team for many years, and I appreciate the quick response and care that Cecilia and the team provides anytime I have questions. While there are other providers that may provide like services, First Nonprofit will always be my first choice! I appreciate you!
First Nonprofit has been easy to work with and makes the administrative process easier and smoother. We enjoy working with you.
Luckily for us, our interactions regarding any issues with staffing has been very minimal! I can say that all other interactions with regards to billing, 941 reporting, etc. have been extremely pleasant, accommodating and easy to work with. Kim Ghanayem is always prompt, professional and friendly. Thank you so much!
