Ending domestic violence was just one cause championed by The Allstate Foundation last year. More than $17.5 million from the Foundation supported the work of local and national nonprofits in 2011 to build safe, diverse and financially strong communities.
Since 2005, The Allstate Foundation has worked to end domestic violence. In 2011, the Foundation's leadership on this issue was demonstrated locally through partnerships with The Erin Kimball Memorial Foundation, Inc. and Salt Lake City in Utah.
"We take our role as a corporate citizen seriously and focus on social issues where we make real change in local communities," said Field Senior Vice President Denis Bailey."Helping a victim of domestic violence build her way to financial security demonstrates our good hands work and our commitment to improving everyday life of American families."
In addition to addressing the domestic violence, the Foundation also supports a number of partnerships focused on promoting: safe and vital communities; tolerance, inclusion and diversity; and economic empowerment.
Of the $38,500 the Foundation gave in Utah in 2011:
- Sixty-nine percent helped victims of domestic violence get free and stay free from abuse by achieving financial independence.
- Thirty-one percent funded programs that revitalize neighborhoods, build strong communities, assist with catastrophe response, teach tolerance to youth or alleviate discrimination.
During the Foundation's 60-year history, it has invested nearly $300 million in communities across the country to address key social issues. The first grant cycle of 2012 is now open.
