About Essential Benefits


Who We Are
Essential Benefits recently joined the Capital Benefit Group family of companies. The parent company, Capital Benefit Group, strives to be the premier brand among all health insurance brokers in the Pacific Northwest.
While owned by Capital Benefit Group (CBG), Gordon Kushnick still runs and operates the business just as before. Clients continue to receive the same great service, now with the backing and greater resources from CBG!

Make a difference the CBG way

Food Lifeline
Each year, Capital Benefit Group participates in the "Food Frenzy" fundraiser with Food Lifeline. Food Frenzy specifically focuses on feeding families during the summer months when many children are not receiving the meals they normally would during school. It is a high-need time and CBG has done it's part to be a cause for good, raising thousands of dollars each year and providing nourishing meals to those in need.
In addition, CBG has often volunteered employee time at Food Lifeline warehouses to help sort, box, and prep food deliveries.
Rampathon
Capital Benefit Group is proud to support the MBA Rampathon, an inspiring initiative led by the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties. The service event involves building ramps for individuals in need, enhancing accessibility and improving lives within the community.
The MBA pairs CBG up in teams with skilled builders and other volunteers to help construct safe and reliable ramps that enable greater independence for those with mobility challenges. Last year the ramp that CBG helped build in Mountlake Terrace allowed a disabled woman to leave her house for the first time in over 9 months. Building a better community, one ramp at a time.


Wellspring Family Services
Capital Benefit Group is deeply committed to supporting Wellspring Family Services and their mission to end family homelessness. The CBG team has actively engaged to provide resources and support to families in need. By partnering with Wellspring, CBG has been able to donate time, service, and dollars toward creating safe and stable housing solutions to those facing trouble.
An especially great opportunity has been to serve at the Family Store, organizing clothing, packing essentials, and prepping orders for families in need. CBG strives to make a meaningful impact by helping build stronger, more resilient, and more compassionate communities.
