Thriving Neighborhoods
Strengthening communities at their cores
Ensuring the vitality and resilience of the communities where we live and work is a priority for Travelers. We help to foster thriving neighborhoods by supporting economic development and community programs that help families live safely, find employment and better prepare for natural disasters.
What our funding supports
- Accessible, safe housing. We support organizations and programs that provide permanent housing to create safe, stable neighborhoods in low- and mixed-income communities.
- Successful small businesses. We fund organizations that develop economic vitality and create and retain wealth in low-income and underserved neighborhoods and communities by assisting the creation and growth of small businesses, with an emphasis on women-, minority- and veteran-owned businesses.
- Resilient communities. We support organizations that show leadership in disaster preparation, response and recovery specifically targeted to low-income and limited-asset communities.
