Travelers believes that strong communities are sustained by educational and economic opportunities – and we are dedicated to assisting our communities in generating those opportunities. With a focus on access and inclusion, we target our giving and volunteerism to help improve academic and career success, develop thriving neighborhoods and create culturally enriched communities.

Academic & career success
Because today’s student will be tomorrow’s co-worker, education is a priority in our giving. We support college and career readiness programs for students from under-resourced communities, starting in middle school through college and into career.
Thriving neighborhoods
Creating safe, resilient communities where people have access to opportunity is a priority for us. We fund initiatives ranging from the creation of affordable housing to small business development and disaster preparedness.
Culturally enriched communities
We believe arts and culture enrich lives and improve multicultural understanding. We fund organizations that use the arts to enhance academic learning, provide access to low-income communities and present cultural traditions.
