State Farm was born out of a vision to deliver honest insurance coverage at fair prices. Doing so required heart. And, with persistence, this vision became reality. See how our founder, G.J. Mecherle, took his vision and launched an insurance company that rocketed to the top of the industry. Come along with us as we celebrate our commitment to customers, demonstrate our caring culture and share our vision for the future.

The physical Good Neighbor Center is located at our Corporate Headquarters in Bloomington, Ill., and it is open to employees, agents and the general public. It offers an immersive and interactive experience that takes visitors through our journey. This website is the digital representative of that experience. We hope you enjoy!

100 for Good

Wed, 08 Sep 2021 12:02:00 -0500

At State Farm, we believe doing good is contagious, and there are Good Neighbors all around, even though it’s sometimes hard to see. People who, each and every day, make the world a better place, one Act of Good at a time.

That’s why we started 100 for Good^®.

Giving back, doing good and being there when it counts are all a part of our State Farm culture. It’s who we are, and it’s who you are, too. 100 for Good brings us all together so we can see all the amazing Acts of Good our fellow Good Neighbors are doing across the country.

Big or small, every Act of Good makes a difference. Donating old clothes, paying for a stranger’s coffee, or big acts like volunteering with your local non-profit.

Join the community of Good Neighbors. Download the 100 for Good app today (available on IOS and Android App stores), start tracking your Acts of Good, and share your story using #100forGood. Together, we can do so much good, and inspire others to join the movement of making this world a better place, one Act of Good at a time.

Good Neighbors. Better World.

For us at State Farm^®, it’s not enough simply to do business with people; we must also be good neighbors alongside them. We’re committed to being a responsible corporate citizen that enhances the vibrant communities where our associates and customers live and work. This “Good Neighbors. Better World.” approach guided our actions in 2020 and continues to drive us going forward.

Those actions are shared in our first-ever annual report detailing our progress in environmental, social, and governance areas. One example is how in 2020, our national and local philanthropic giving totaled nearly $57 million—with more than $16 million supporting pandemic relief. State Farm invested an additional $10 million in minority and women small business owners in the Company’s home state of Illinois.

And—because cleaner air helps make a better world—State Farm is committing to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by the end of 2030.

We have renewable or carbon-free power purchase agreements for several of our main employee campuses and we’re actively exploring sustainable solutions for fleet vehicles, energy efficiency capital projects, green natural gas – plus how to engage employees individually toward this target.

This step is just the first in our continuing efforts to being good stewards of the neighborhoods we serve.
