Good Neighbor Citizenship®

The State Farm® mission is to help people manage the risks of everyday life, recover from the unexpected, and realize their dreams.

We achieve our mission through the products and services we offer, as well as through our involvement in and commitment to the community. We make it our business to be like a good neighbor, helping to improve the quality of life in the communities where our associates live and work.

The Good Neighbor Citizenship program is the umbrella for State Farm and State Farm Companies Foundation charitable efforts including volunteerism. Through Good Neighbor Citizenship, we work to build safer, stronger and better educated communities across the United States and Canada. State Farm and State Farm Companies Foundation commit resources to helping raise the levels of achievement of our nation's teachers and students, to making our homes and highways safe, and to building strong communities.

• To help people manage the risks of everyday life, we support auto and home safety programs and activities aimed at preventing or reducing injury and loss.
• To help people recover from the unexpected, we support disaster recovery services.
• To help people realize their dreams, we support programs that enable home ownership, create safe neighborhoods, and build strong communities. And to help make future dreams come true, we are committed to education, helping to raise the levels of achievement of our nation's teachers and students.
