  Why Great Plains? Great Plains Annuity and Life Marketing is 100% independently owned . From our inception, we have been concerned with the industry trend of once-independent annuity and life brokerage firms becoming owned wholly or in part by insurance carriers or entities with specific sales agendas. We believe producers, and their clients, are best served when the sales process focuses on their needs and not the marketing organization’s ownership.

Great Plains partnered with our local VFW Post to gather new toys and stuffed animals for Toys For Tots and donated them to local children in need. "The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens." - Toys for Tots Website Our office, along with help from other suites in our building, was able to donate over 35 new toys to kids in our area who otherwise may not have had a gift to open at Christmastime!

Earlier this month, staff members at Great Plains Annuity & Life Marketing gathered coats and blankets for kids and adults to donate to Project Warmth Kansas City !  "Project Warmth is an initiative to collect new and gently used coats and blankets as well as cash donations to help people in need during extremely cold weather. The Midwest’s extreme conditions during severe weather—hot or cold—prompted the effort to help people in need. Ultimately, Project Warmth aims to ensure lives are not lost to frigid cold or sweltering heat." - Project Warmth Website  Hopefully, with the help of our donations, people in our local community will be a littler warmer and safer this winter.
