Silver and Gold Awards for Excellence in Surety Bond Promotion are given to local surety associations for conducting public relations activities to promote the value and benefits of surety bonds. Platinum Awards for Excellence in Surety Bond Promotion are presented to individual members of The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA) and National Association of Surety Bond Promotion (NASBP) whose activities to promote surety bonds have had a significant impact on the construction industry. The Tiger Trust honors SFAA and NASBP members who persuade private owners or lenders to require a surety bond on a project.
