December 22, 2011

The Allstate Foundation awarded nearly $100,000 to 14 San Antonio organizations in 2011.

The Bexar County Family Justice Center received $79,300 from the Allstate Foundation to provide economic empowerment education and support for area domestic violence victims.

Another $13,000 went toward organizations that Allstate agents volunteered with in 2011. The $1,000 grants were given on behalf of the local agents, bringing the total up to $92,300.

“The very fabric of Allstate consists of people who care about their local community,” says Phil Lawson, Allstate Field Vice President for the Texas Region. “The Allstate Foundation is a powerful way for agents and employees to get involved with their local nonprofits and partner with them in making their communities stronger and safer places.”

The organizations are Samba Vida; Alamo City Storm Soccer Club; San Antonio Independent Living Services; San Antonio Golf Association; Down Syndrome Association of San Antonio; Gujarati Samaj of San Antonio; Leon Springs Business Association; Sistas In Business; Juvenile Outreach and Vocational Educational Network; Action United for Entertainers and Diverse Artist; Centro Cultural Hispano De San Marcos; Hydro Angels Over Texas; and Light Shine Ministries.

Statewide, the foundation awarded $530,000 to nearly 150 organizations to fight to end domestic violence, promote teen safe driving and help build vital communities.

The Allstate Foundation is an independent, charitable organization that is funded by subsidiaries of The Allstate Corp.
