About Pro Benefits of Washington
Our History
Founded in 2011, by Jodi Hensley, Pro Benefits of Washington was formed to better serve employees and families with a simpler benefits process. As a former HR Executive, Jodi knew firsthand the pain points and challenges of selecting and managing employee benefits. She envisioned an agency that could provide expertise and financial guidance, but also hands-on care and service. From there, PRO grew to earn high praise in Washington and was eventually acquired by Capital Benefit Group in 2020. Under the Capital Benefit Group umbrella, PRO continues to serve clients with the same service, expertise, and care that inspired Jodi to launch PRO.

Community Involvement
Make a difference the CBG way
Food Lifeline
Each year, PRO 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 PRO 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, PRO has often volunteered employee time at Food Lifeline warehouses to help sort, box, and prep food deliveries.
Rampathon
As part of the Capital Benefit Group Family, PRO 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 Capital Benefit Group (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 Service
As part of Capital Benefit Group, PRO 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 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.
