The Allstate Foundation

The Research-to-Impact Initiative is all about expanding access to youth-led service opportunities and improving communities around the country in partnership with amazing organizations — like YMCA of the USA. With 2,600 locations across the nation in more than 10,000 communities, the Y serves more than 17 million people. We’re so excited to see how they use this partnership to better support and equip young leaders who are ready to drive positive change.

Youth-led service creates ripple effects that last long after a single project ends, and National 4-H Council sees how trusting young people can help strengthen our communities. We're so excited to partner with them through our Research-to-Impact Initiative so they can deepen their impact, expand service opportunities to even more young people, and share ideas that our partners could scale.

Few people have the chance to impact youth quite like those working in our schools, so we're absolutely honored to partner with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) through our Research-to-Impact Initiative.

National PTA, the nation's largest and oldest child advocacy association, is helping us bring improved youth-led service opportunities to students of all ages through the Research-to-Impact Initiative. They have a special gift of bringing together anyone who wants to make a positive impact on the education, health and well-being of young people, so we're excited about the possibilities of this partnership.

We are honored to share that Greg Weatherford II has been named to the 2026 TIME100 Philanthropy list, which recognizes 100 of the most influential leaders shaping philanthropy around the world. At The Allstate Foundation, we are leading a national movement to empower youth to serve and improve communities. Together with young changemakers, nonprofit partners and other practitioners, the Foundation is expanding opportunities for young people to lead service in communities across the country. This recognition reflects the broader work the Foundation advances and the importance of investing in young changemakers who are creating positive impact.

Through our Research-to-Impact Initiative, we're so excited to support and learn from Junior Achievement USA as they continue working to provide young people with the knowledge and inspiration they need to succeed in work and life.

Each year, Future Business Leaders of America, Inc. (FBLA) empowers more than 230,000 students with the skills and experience they need for professional success in business — where character development and community betterment are just as important as skills or finances. We're so honored they're taking part in The Allstate Foundation Research-to-Impact Initiative and helping us bring youth-led service opportunities to even more young people.

Service is so much more than just giving back. For many young people, it's an avenue to grow, build confidence, and discover what's possible for themselves and their communities. Our Research-to-Impact Initiative is focused on amplifying youth voices and expanding access to service opportunities that benefit both communities and the young people leading the efforts.

The Allstate Foundation Research-to-Impact Initiative is taking the results of our study with Gallup and using them to drive positive, lasting impact in communities across the country. Seven of the country's leading youth-serving organizations are receiving $2 million from The Allstate Foundation and are working alongside us to: - Use funds to increase youth-led service within their ecosystem. - Deploy shared program design considerations and track common metrics. - Convene to collaborate, share learnings and strengthen what scales.
