Deepening Our Community Commitment

The “Taking Care of Our Communities” mural by Connecticut artist Jillian Goeler portrays the many ways we fulfill this key component of the Travelers Promise – from supporting financial literacy programs for students to building playgrounds with KABOOM! to investing in arts and education initiatives.

In a year during which the pandemic continued to impact our neighbors and partner organizations, Travelers deepened its commitment to take care of the communities we’re privileged to serve.

 

In 2021, we dedicated our time, talent and dollars to improve academic and career success, promote economic opportunity, support culturally enriched communities and more – all through a lens of equity and inclusion.

Championing Innovation

  In 2021, Travelers took our support for entrepreneurs a step further, partnering with Village Capital, Black Innovation Alliance and other corporate funders to form Resource, an initiative to equip founders of color with the training and networking opportunities they need to get their great ideas off the ground.

  Through our partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, we also harnessed our employees’ financial and strategic expertise to support more than 500 veteran-owned small businesses.

Educating Tomorrow’s Workforce

  In 2021, we funded $5.4 million in educational initiatives, and Travelers employees logged thousands of volunteer hours supporting and mentoring students as they faced remote learning challenges.

 

  We partnered with Junior Achievement to support financial literacy programs for young people and participated in career fairs to promote student awareness of the insurance industry.

 

  We continued to invest in Travelers EDGE® (Empowering Dreams for Graduation and Employment), our scholarship program, which has empowered hundreds of students from historically underrepresented backgrounds to pursue higher education and careers in financial services.

 

Filling the Gap

•  With our Hartford, Connecticut, offices still quiet for much of the year, we continued using our kitchens to provide meals for neighbors in need. We also helped local nonprofits feed vulnerable families and shelter residents, preparing and delivering more than 85,000 meals in 2021.

 

  While theaters and stages in our area went dark during the pandemic, we stepped up to support artists and performers, providing $3.4 million in critical financial support to arts organizations to make sure their curtains rose again.

 

Rebuilding with Resilience

  Since we began our title sponsorship of the Travelers Championship in 2007, we have raised nearly $23 million for more than 125 worthy nonprofit organizations, including our primary beneficiary, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.

 

  The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which was founded by actor Paul Newman, offers a respite for families of children with serious illnesses. Its summer camp and year-round outreach programs provide a place where kids just get to be kids – all with the best care and free of charge. After a fire destroyed the camp’s main complex in 2021, Travelers and the Travelers Championship announced an ambitious match program that raised $2 million in a single week to rebuild this community.
