HELPING SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Since The Allstate Foundation launched its domestic violence program in
2005,it has invested nearly $50million in programs and services to end domestic
violence and helped nearly 800,000survivors take steps toward financial
independence and a life free from abuse. Signature programs include the
Purple Purse Challenge, which raised nearly $3.1million for domestic violence
survivors across the country in 2015, and the Moving Ahead Through Financial
Management curriculum, a five-part program designed to help domestic violence
victims regain control of their finances after their abusers have restricted their
access to cash, credit, employment and other everydayessentials.
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
At Allstate, we believe “bringing out the good” starts young. We all benefit
when young people are empowered to solve problems in their schools, their
communities and throughout the world. As a result, Allstate and The Allstate
Foundation were national co-title sponsors of four “WE Day” events in 2015.
At each event, 16,000 to 17,000young leaders gathered for recognition and
inspiration. Allstate agency owners and employees also supported these
young people in volunteer activities through ongoing “WE Schools” programs.
In addition, Allstate has a long history of supporting other youth programs,
such as Junior Achievement, the YMCA, the YWCA, and Boys and Girls Clubs
ofAmerica.
Creating a Better Future
Allstate is working to create a 22nd Century Corporation — a company that people
want to do business with because it connects with consumers, sparks social change,
empowers people and is a force for good. Allstate believes that corporations should
address pressing social problems and create positive change in the world, not just in
the industries where they compete. We put this philosophy into practice through The
Allstate Foundation and our corporate responsibility initiatives. In 2015, The Allstate
Foundation, Allstate, its employees and agency owners gave $36million to support
local communities. Allstate employees and agency owners donated 230,000hours of
service across the country.
Here are two examples of how we — along with our neighbors and partners in the
community — inspire the next generation of leaders and tackle one of society’s
toughest issues.
