Key takeaways

Your work fits if it sits within its themes of youth empowerment, relationship abuse or nonprofit leadership, but it does not fund direct support to survivors, so such a request will not match.
The filing describes the foundation as invitation only and not accepting unsolicited requests, while its own description says to submit a letter of proposal and that its nonprofit application process is closed, so confirm whether an approach is welcome before you write a full proposal.
If it is, a modest request fits: about 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $500 and $10,000, with a median of $1,000, though its largest grant was $2,000,000, so that band is typical rather than a limit.
Relationships appear to matter, since 90% of its grant dollars to organisations in its most recent filing went to organisations it had also funded in its earlier filings.
Proposals are reviewed as received, so there is no deadline to aim for.

What they fund

Profile derived from the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) and its website, with every statement checked against those sources. Sources read on 12 October 2026.

Priority Areas

The Allstate Foundation focuses on empowering youth through community service, disrupting relationship abuse and investing in nonprofit leaders. It says it empowers young people aged 5–25 to serve and improve communities by engaging partners in programmes, equipping young people with resources to lead, and preparing adults to support youth service. In its relationship-abuse work, it supports initiatives that help survivors build financial stability and wellbeing, educates young people about healthy relationships, and strengthens the domestic-violence nonprofit sector through capacity building and advocate wellness. Its nonprofit leadership work offers professional development and free online training to social innovators and nonprofit professionals. The foundation also describes youth-service funding opportunities for individual youth, educators and universities, while its nonprofit application process is closed.
