The Allstate Foundation

#GetThereSafe Program

Through #GetThereSafe, the foundation asks teens to not engage in three risky behaviors that cause teen crash fatalities: speeding, failure to wear a seatbelt, and distractions caused by teen passengers in the car. The program includes social media conversations and the #GetThereSafe flag on local campuses.

Agency Hands in the Community Grants

The foundation awards $1,000 grants to support the local volunteer efforts of full-time agency owners and personal financial representatives of Allstate. These grants are by invitation only from the Allstate volunteer.

Grants to Individuals Program

Awards to high school teens who address teen driving through print or broadcast journalism.

Greater Good Nonprofit Leaders Program

The foundation, in partnership with the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management’s Center for Nonprofit Management, fosters leadership in the nonprofit sector through in-person academic sessions led by Kellogg faculty, one-on-one executive coaching, and individual development opportunities. Participants earn a certificate from the Allstate Foundation and the Kellogg Center for Nonprofit Management.

The foundation matches contributions made by full-time employees of Allstate to institutions of higher education on a one-for-one basis from $25 to $5,000 per employee, per year. Funds are directed toward the school’s general scholarship fund.

Moving Ahead Economic Empowerment Grants

The foundation awards grants to state domestic violence coalitions and local programs to enhance projects that help survivors overcome economic challenges and achieve financial independence. Special emphasis is directed toward financial education through the use of Allstate’s Moving Ahead Through Financial Management Curriculum; matched saving programs including Individual Development Accounts; and job readiness and job training.

Moving Ahead Through Financial Empowerment Curriculum

The foundation, in partnership with the National Network to End Domestic Violence, produces the Moving Ahead Through Financial Management Curriculum which packages tools and information designed to empower survivors to understand and manage their finances. The curriculum includes strategies for addressing financial and safety challenges with an abusive partner; personal and financial safety in an abusive relationship; dealing with the misuse of financial records; and tools to attain long-term economic empowerment.

Purple Purse

The foundation raises awareness and societal attitudes about domestic violence and financial abuse through Purple Purse, an online site designed like a fashion magazine. The site is designed to help the public recognize domestic, talk about it, and stop it. Visit http://www.purplepurse.com for more information.

Each of Allstate’s 14 regions uses a competitive grant process.
