allstate cares
We care about our customers and about the way we do business. We care about the communities we serve and our place in society. We’re 75,000+ unique individuals who joined Allstate to make a difference, bound by a deep desire to have purpose in our lives and our work.
2014 giving
In 2014, The Allstate Foundation, Allstate, its employees and agency owners gave $34 million to support local communities. A total of 51% of our charitable giving supports diverse communities. Allstate employees and agency owners donated 200,000 hours of service across the country. Some 5,000 volunteers participated in Allstate’s Week of Service. Our executives, agency owners and employees also actively participate on boards of not-for-profit organizations that are making a difference.

Helping domestic violence survivors
In 2014, actress Kerry Washington joined with The Allstate Foundation to raise awareness about domestic violence and the role financial abuse plays in abusive relationships. Washington was the national ambassador for Allstate Foundation Purple Purse. Through online donations, the Purple Purse Challenge raised nearly $2.5 million for domestic violence services. Since 2005, The Allstate Foundation has invested more than $43 million in programs and services to end domestic violence and helped more than 580,000 domestic violence survivors to take steps toward financial independence and a life free from abuse.
EMPOWERING YOUNG CITIZENS
In the United States, Allstate is sponsoring 12 “We Day” stadium-size rallies and “We Act” year-long community service programs for 1.4 million youth between 2014 and 2016. You can't buy a ticket to We Day. Students earn their way to an event by taking action on one local and one global cause of their choice through the We Act program. Our goal: empower future generations with the strength, confidence and skills to do the right thing, stand up for themselves and others, and realize their full potential.
Teen safe driving
Nearly 1.5 million young drivers have participated in our programs designed to help them arrive home safely every night. In fact, we have nearly achieved our 10-year goal of helping to reduce teen driving deaths by 50% by 2015. (In 2012, the last year for which we have data, that rate had declined by 47 percent.) Teens are about three times more likely than older drivers to be involved in fatal crashes.
