Description
Liberty Mutual Foundation, established in 2003, supports nonprofit programs and operations that advance security and resilience for people and communities. Its framework addresses basic services, housing stability, youth homelessness, education, youth workforce development, and climate resiliency. Priority goes to organizations and projects serving low-income youth and young adults, with belonging, accessibility, and support for vulnerable and underrepresented communities central to its approach.
The Foundation primarily provides programmatic and general operating support through initiative requests for proposals and a Discretionary Fund. It also makes limited capital grants to closely aligned current partners. Initiatives support work ranging from emergency food and shelter to educational achievement, living-wage employment, nature-based climate solutions, green-job training, and resilient infrastructure.
