- "When the Chubb Rule of Law Fund focused on domestic racial justice issues in 2020, that support centered on the relationship between law enforcement and the community it serves, understanding that public safety requires mutual trust between these groups," said Joseph Wayland, Executive Vice President, Chubb Group and General Counsel.
- Since it was established in 2008, the Chubb Rule of Law Fund has made 71 grants to support the preservation and advancement of the rule of law.
