Community: Employee Volunteerism & Giving

We take pride in empowering our employees to have a positive impact on their communities by serving others. As community leaders, Travelers employees are more than strong corporate citizens – they are valuable assets to the communities in which they live and work. Year after year, our employees make a positive impact in the communities we call home.

We hear from our employees about how connecting with their communities – by contributing their time, talents and financial resources – is personally rewarding, drives engagement and morale, and strengthens their commitment to our company’s mission. We also see how community involvement – whether by leading a team volunteer project, coordinating an event for a local nonprofit, providing pro bono services or serving on a charity’s board of directors – helps our employees develop as professionals, building competencies that we value in the Travelers workforce.

Travelers Community Connections Matching Gifts and Volunteer Rewards program

We amplify our employees’ generosity with the Travelers Community Connections Matching Gifts and Volunteer Rewards program. The program offers an annual cash match of up to $500 per employee for donations made through our online portal. Employees also are eligible to earn volunteer rewards at a rate of $20 per volunteer hour logged, which they can then designate as grants to eligible charities. Each employee may earn up to $1,000 in rewards annually. In 2025, approximately 28% of employees participated in the Matching Gifts and Volunteer Rewards program; Travelers donated $2.8 million in matching funds. Employees logged more than 125,000 volunteer hours in 2025.

Our annual Community Connections Campaign also encourages employee giving through fundraising events in support of United Way affiliates across the country and reminds employees about the ability to give to their favorite charities through payroll deduction and other methods. During the 2025 campaign, which was themed “Ensuring Resilient Communities,” employees raised approximately $1 million for our local communities through 170 creative virtual and live events.

Travelers Community Connections team volunteer grants

The Travelers Community Connections field office volunteer grant program supports teams of U.S. employees who are involved in volunteer projects that benefit local schools and nonprofit partners.

In 2025, this program supported 26 organizations partnering with Travelers offices across the country with more than $318,000. In addition, we provided more than $700,000 to Habitat for Humanity affiliates throughout the United States and Canada, supporting employees in nearly 40 offices to participate in team volunteer builds.
