Safeco Giving Guidelines*

Safeco and the Safeco Insurance Foundation are pleased to partner with Safeco agents and invest in the efforts of the nonprofit organizations they admire and support.

Where we direct our contributions

Safeco and the Safeco Insurance Foundation extend grants and sponsorships in four primary areas:

• Arts & Culture
• Environmental Stewardship 
• Economic Inclusion
• Youth Enrichment

Safeco and the Safeco Insurance Foundation support local programs across the United States that fit within the aforementioned focus areas. We call on our agents, the individuals who work and volunteer in the communities in which Safeco does business, to nominate appropriate nonprofit organizations for our support.

Please note: we do not accept grant or sponsorship requests through the Agent Giving Program from any persons other than Safeco agents.
