The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA) Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established to expand the pipeline of qualified applicants and increase access to career opportunities within the surety and fidelity industry. SFAA, along with its member companies, recognizes the value of a workplace where all individuals have an opportunity to participate and succeed.

The Surety and Fidelity Intern & Scholarship Program was established to encourage college students to explore careers in the surety and fidelity industry.
