Community

Travelers – directly and through the Travelers Foundation – has provided more than $237 million in gifts to local communities over the past decade, focused on supporting academic and career success, developing thriving neighborhoods and creating culturally enriched communities. Our giving, along with our extensive volunteer efforts, helps us deliver sustained value for all stakeholders.

Approach

We understand that we can only thrive as a business enterprise if our economy and our communities thrive too. We believe that strong communities are sustained by educational and economic opportunities, and we are dedicated to assisting our communities in generating those opportunities. Our community initiatives, including our volunteer and matching gifts programs, are also designed to enhance employee engagement and retention.

Travelers provides community support both directly and through the Travelers Foundation, the company’s philanthropic arm. The Travelers Foundation Board of Directors provides oversight of the foundation’s strategies, priorities and activities. Our Community Relations department meets regularly with the foundation’s Board, comprised primarily of senior leaders from our Management and Operating Committees. Community Relations also reports annually to the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Travelers Board of Directors. Travelers and the Travelers Foundation publish an annual community report to highlight our accomplishments and progress.
