SAN FRANCISCO >> Now in its seventh year, State Farm Neighborhood Assist is offering $1 million to nonprofit organizations across the country for community projects.
The program awards $25,000 grants to 40 nonprofit organizations to help fund neighborhood projects involved in education, safety and community development.
The process is divided into three parts:
Submission phase
Individuals can submit a cause at www.neighborhoodassist.com from June 6-June 15 or when 2,000 submissions are reached, whichever comes first. The State Farm Review Committee will then narrow down the field, using a scoring rubric to identify the top 200 submissions.
Voting Phase
Ultimately, voters will decide which community improvement projects win big. The public will have a chance to vote 10 times a day, every day for 10 days from August 15-August 24 for their favorite causes from the list of finalists. Voting will take place at www.neighborhoodassist.com.
Winners Announced
The 40 causes that receive the most votes will each win a $25,000 grant and winners will be announced on Tuesday, September 25 at www.neighborhoodassist.com.
In 2017, 119,000 people cast 3.1 million votes in support of their favorite causes, selecting winners from small towns and big cities.
Since the program began, State Farm has awarded $6 million to more than 200 organizations.
