Company Partners

State Farm Companies Foundation was established in 1963 as an independent private foundation funded by the State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and State Farm Life Insurance Company. The Foundation provides support for key initiatives and scholarships, as well as associate-directed programs, including grants supporting volunteerism and matching gifts to two- and four-year colleges and universities.

The State Farm Companies Foundation and State Farm values inclusiveness and diversity. Therefore, charitable funding is intended to advance access, equity, and inclusiveness while discouraging harmful discrimination based on age, political affiliation, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation or identity, or religious beliefs.

Scholarship Programs

State Farm Companies Foundation does not provide scholarships directly to individuals. We provide funding to national, established scholarship programs such as National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Matching Gift Program

The State Farm Companies Foundation Matching Gift Program encourages State Farm® associates to support higher education. The Foundation matches limited individual charitable contributions made by State Farm eligible associates, agents and retirees to eligible colleges and universities.

Good Neighbor Grant™ Program

Through the Good Neighbor Grant Program, the State Farm Companies Foundation awards a $500 grant on behalf of each eligible State Farm associate, agent or retiree who volunteers a minimum of 40 hours a year to an eligible nonprofit organization
