About The Allstate Foundation:

Founded in 1952, The Allstate Foundation is an
independent charitable organization funded by
contributions from subsidiaries of The Allstate
Corporation. The Foundation invests millions of
dollars annually in U.S. programs aligned with
three focus areas:

Safe and vital communities. The Allstate Foundation
is dedicated to fostering safe and vital communities
where people live, work and raise families. These
communities are economically strong, crime-free and
residents feel a sense of belonging and commitment.
Programs supported by the Foundation address:

Catastrophe response
Youth anti-violence
Neighborhood revitalization
Teen safe driving

Economic empowerment. The Allstate Foundation believes
a thriving, viable community is one where residents have
access to economic resources and knowledge to make
informed decisions about their financial future. Programs
supported by the Foundation address:

Financial and economic literacy
Insurance education
Empowerment for victims of domestic violence

Tolerance, inclusion and diversity. The Allstate Foundation
believes that a strong community is one that recognizes and
values people of varied backgrounds, including ethnicity,
gender, physical challenges, age and lifestyle. Programs
supported by the Foundation address:

Teaching tolerance to youth
Ending hate crimes
Alleviating discrimination

An additional $1 million is earmarked each year for local
nonprofits through Agency Hands in the Community grants.
The $500 Agency Hands in the Community award was created
to honor the local community volunteer efforts of Allstate
exclusive agents and personal financial representatives.
These grants improve the quality of life in communities
across America.

Helping Hands Volunteers:

More than 50 percent of Allstate employees participate in
volunteer activities through the company's Helping Hands
program, founded in 1976. This program has been recognized
for organizing events that bring caring and compassion to
communities throughout America. For example, each November
and December, Allstate works with Chicago-based charitable
organizations to brighten the holidays of families in need.
Allstate's home office staff members "adopt" families, review
the wish lists they submit and help fulfill these wishes with
everything from turkeys for the table to bicycles, beds and
basketballs for children. In 2004, nearly 4,000 employees
reached out to 374 families, touching the lives of hundreds
of people of all ages.

Allstate agents also find many ways to reach out to the
communities where they live and work. To honor their
involvement, The Allstate Foundation awards $500 grants to
nonprofit organizations where Allstate agents volunteer.
In 2004 we awarded $903,500 in Agency Hands in the Community
grants to recognize the volunteerism of 1,807 Allstate agents.
