Community grants

For over 100 years, State Farm® has helped people manage the risks of everyday life, recover from the unexpected and realize their dreams. One of the ways we do this is through our philanthropic efforts.

State Farm is committed to helping build safer, stronger and better-educated communities in three areas that strongly align with our brand and our business: Safety, Community Development and Education.

 

Safety grants

We strive to keep our customers and communities safe. That's why our funding is directed toward:

Auto safety — improving driver, passenger, vehicle or roadway safety

Home safety — shielding homes from fires, crime or natural disasters

Disaster preparedness and mitigation

Disaster recovery

Community development

We support nonprofits that invest in and develop stronger neighborhoods. That's why our funding is directed toward:

Affordable housing — home construction, repair, and sustainable housing

Commercial/small business development

Financial literacy

Food insecurity 

Education

Education builds for the jobs of today and tomorrow. Our education funding is directed toward initiatives that support higher education, K-12 academic performance, and K-12 STEM, primarily near the company’s major employment hubs.

Our charitable contributions may be awarded to:

  • Educational institutions
  • Municipal, county, state or federal government entities that align with the State Farm charitable focus
  • 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organizations
  • 501(c)(4) volunteer fire companies

State Farm does not fund:

  • Individuals seeking personal help or scholarships
  • Religious programs
  • Politically partisan programs
  • Organizations outside the U.S.

State Farm grant application process

State Farm charitable funding is offered through an invitation only process each year.

If you did not receive an invitation, support requests for programs that meet grant focus areas can be submitted here. This questionnaire is designed to ensure that programming fits the State Farm community grant funding guidelines. You will only be contacted if additional information related to your request is needed or State Farm is interested in pursuing a grant relationship. State Farm receives a large number of requests each year and regrettably we are unable to support or respond to every request. 

State Farm and the State Farm Companies Foundation, in its discretion, reserve the right to decide whether a charitable contribution will be made. State Farm and the State Farm Companies Foundation reserve the right to discontinue or change the grant programs at any time without notice.
