Local Programs

Florida Region

Congratulations on the wonderful work you are doing in your community. This year, given the serious economic environment, The Allstate Foundation at the regional level is primarily renewing support for existing partners and accepting applications for new relationships mainly in the areas of teen driving and economic empowerment for victims of domestic violence - the two social issues we are championing. 

As you might imagine, we get many more requests for support than we can honor with the limited resources available. Thank you for considering us and I wish you the best as you continue your valuable work in the community.

Welcome to the Florida Region of Allstate Insurance Company. Below are examples of our recent community efforts. Congratulations to the 2008 Agency Hands in the Community grant recipients!

What Has Allstate Done in our Local Community?

• The Allstate Foundation proudly donated the first mobile Fire Safety house to the Florida State Fire College. The Fire Safety house is available to all local fire stations across the state and is designed to teach people, especially children, about fire safety and how to safely exit from a burning building.
• The Allstate Foundation works with several Florida organizations to promote Teen Safe Driving. The Florida region has partnerships with Mothers against Brain Injuries in Jacksonville, MORE Health in St. Petersburg and Big Brothers and Big sisters of Dade/Broward and Pinellas County to educate teens on issues, distractions, and driving safely.
• The Allstate Foundation assists domestic violence survivors through Harbor House in Orlando. The program promotes education advocacy and provides the training necessary for survivors to become financially independent from their abusers.
• In 2007, The Allstate Foundation supported a variety other programs across Florida including Take Stock in Children, the Urban League, The Search Dog Foundation, Junior Achievement, Helping People Succeed, Do the Right Thing, Boys and Girls Club, and Florida Firefighters Charities.
