Florida’s trusted workers comp partner gets a fresh name and renewed focus.
If you’ve been in Florida’s construction and contracting space for a while, you’ve probably heard of the FRSA Self-Insurers Fund. Since 1955, we’ve been helping licensed roofing contractors protect their teams, control costs, and stay compliant through reliable workers compensation coverage and strong industry partnerships.
Now, we’re proud to introduce our new name: BrightFund.
This rebrand represents more than a new logo. It reflects our growth, our commitment to modernizing how we serve the trades, and our continued investment in safety and service for Florida’s roofing industry, with expansion to serve HVAC, electrical, plumbing, masonry, and sheet metal professionals. We’re not changing, we’re improving.
So what is improving, what’s staying the same, and what can members and agents expect from this new chapter? Let’s break it down.
Why the Name BrightFund?
We chose BrightFund because it better reflects our purpose: helping Florida contractors build brighter futures for their businesses and employees. It’s also a nod to our proactive approach to safety, claims, and client service, all designed to reduce risk and create positive outcomes.
While our name has changed, our mission hasn’t. We’re still 100% focused on Florida-based licensed contractors, still committed to high-touch support, and still passionate about strengthening the trades.
What's New with BrightFund?
Here are some of the improvements we’re excited to roll out:
1. Upgraded Technology
We’re investing in an updated digital age that makes it easier for members and agents to access what they need, when they need it. Our upgraded digital experience will offer:
- Streamlined access to Certificates of Insurance
- Faster claims updates and communications
- Easy-to-navigate safety resources
- Plus, coming soon: Simplified digital billing and document management
These updates are designed with contractors in mind, saving you time on admin so you can stay focused on the job site.
2. Expanded Industry Visibility
While we’ve always had strong roots in roofing (and we’re proud of our partnership with the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association), BrightFund allows us to grow our visibility and support across other trades too; including air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, masonry, and sheet metal contracting.
3. Enhanced Marketing Support for Agents
For appointed agents, our new brand provides a fresh toolkit to support your outreach efforts. With improved co-branded materials and updated digital assets, you’ll have what you need to educate clients and grow your book of business.
What's Staying the Same?
BrightFund is built on the foundation of the FRSA Self-Insurers Fund, and our core offerings remain as strong as ever:
Industry-Tailored Coverage
We know trade contractors face unique risks, so we’ve built coverage that speaks their language. Our focus remains on the industries we know best, including roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and more.
Safety Programs That Work
From OSHA resources to on-site consultations, our safety programs are still built to help prevent accidents, reduce claims, and protect your bottom line.
Dedicated Claims Support
BrightFund continues to offer proactive, responsive claims handling. We partner with members throughout the process to resolve cases efficiently and fairly, with an eye toward returning workers to the field safely.
Return Dividends
One of the biggest benefits of being a BrightFund member? The opportunity to earn return dividends. We remain committed to rewarding contractors who prioritize safety and maintain strong records.
A Continued Commitment to Florida's Trades
We’re proud of our history, but we’re even more excited for what’s ahead. BrightFund is more than a new name. It’s a promise to continue evolving with the industry, delivering modern tools and trusted service to help you grow.
Whether you’re a long-time member, a new fund agent, or a licensed contractor exploring workers compensation coverage options, we’re here to be a partner you can count on.
