State Farm Foundation
Category: Community
DescriptionThe philanthropic arm of the insurance company focuses its grantmaking on three areas: Safe Neighbors (safety); Strong Neighborhoods (community development); and Education Excellence (education). There’s also limited funding available to meet community-based needs. Safety grants are directed to improving driver, vehicle, and roadway safety; shielding homes from fires, criminals, and natural disasters; supporting disaster preparedness programs and recovery services; and enhancing personal financial security. Community development grants help make housing affordable; promote first-time homeownership; eliminate barriers to homeownership; educate homebuyers about insurance, loss mitigation, and homeownership; foster sustainable communities; and rehabilitate neighborhoods or communities. Education Excellence grants support K-12 public schools with teacher excellence programs that improve teacher quality; service-learning programs that integrate core classroom curriculum with service to the community; and programs that incorporate systemic improvement criteria into education systems. A State Farm field office may support grants for a designated college or university. Application guidelines and local contact information can be found on the Web site.
