History

  • Conceived with the notion of “giving back” to the hobby that has brought joy, friendship, and business success, Hagerty Insurance Agency founded and has invested generously in the Collectors Foundation since its inception.
  • Concerned about the future of the collecting community, many enthusiasts have asked: Who will want my car, motorcycle, or boat when I no longer need it? Who will buy the parts my company manufacturers for historic vehicles? Who will know how to take care of my car, my motorcycle, my boat when I am no longer able? Who will be the future industry and hobby leaders?
  • Together, businesses and individuals associated with collector vehicles and boats who care about youth and want to pass on their passion to the next generation, have found the Collectors Foundation to be the perfect tool for sharing the responsibility of building the next generation of collector enthusiasts.
  • Incorporated in January of 2005 as a nonprofit corporation and granted 501(c)(3) status by the IRS.
