Financial Resources

The Allstate Foundation

Since 1952, The Allstate Foundation has supported innovative and lasting solutions that enhance people’s well-being and prosperity. Over the years, the Foundation has created breakthrough programs in teen safe driving and domestic violence that involve tens of thousands of individuals and families to help them overcome personal challenges and uncertainties — helping them to pursue their hopes and dreams.

Corporate Contributions

Allstate provides millions of dollars of financial support each year to local programs and organizations in communities around the country that create strong, vital communities.

Annual Giving Campaign

Allstate agency owners and employees generously donate several million dollars each year to local charitable causes. Allstate matches a percentage of each donation to support their interests and increase their impact.

Time

Volunteerism

Agency owners and employees volunteer more than 180,000 hours each year — including on Allstate’s Give Back Day, our national day of service held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Allstate supports community service with grant programs that provide financial support to the organizations Allstaters serve. In addition, the Allstate Fellows program was created in 2011 to provide select leaders with the opportunity to provide business skills to selected nonprofits, beyond the 50 percent of Allstate officers who serve on boards of community nonprofits.

Leadership

Teen Safe Driving

Preventable motor vehicle crashes caused by teen drivers are the leading cause of death for American teens. Since 2005, Allstate and The Allstate Foundation have helped decrease teen crash fatalities by nearly 40 percent. Our public awareness programs, teen empowerment activities and advocacy of stronger teen driving laws help ensure more teens can walk across the stage on graduation day.

Ending Domestic Violence

Domestic violence affects one in four women during their lifetime. Research shows finances are the strongest predictor of whether a survivor will stay, leave or return to an abusive relationship. Since 2005, The Allstate Foundation has created resources and helped train staff at nearly 1,150 programs serving more than 100,000 survivors across the country.

Socially Responsibile Investments

Over the years, Allstate has provided long-term, below-market rate loans to community organizations to fund critical services like affordable housing, health facilities, childcare, job training centers and charter schools to strengthen families and neighborhoods.
