State Farm® | Local Initiatives Support Corporation

The relationship between LISC and State Farm spans more than 15 years, during which the company has provided grants, loans, and equity investments to help revitalize under-resourced communities. State Farm’s investment is vital to LISC’s ability to pilot new programs and enhance the success of established ones, while helping to leverage significant investment from other funders, to the tune of $5 billion to date.

Just as important is the dedication of State Farm representatives who are on the ground with us, day in and day out, contributing their leadership and expertise on both the local and national level.

“This is a partnership that changes lives and over time is helping shift the outlook for whole neighborhoods.”

— Michael Rubinger, former LISC CEO

State Farm’s investment touches programs and projects in three quarters of LISC’s footprint, from small towns in rural Pennsylvania and Louisiana to big cities like Chicago and San Francisco. Together, we foster essential physical development in the communities we serve – leading to the creation of nearly 30,000 homes affordable to low-income families and close to 13 million square feet of community space, including schools, health clinics, and grocery stores.

A leading funder of our Financial Opportunity Center network, State Farm is an integral part of our efforts to help put families with low incomes on the path to financial stability. State Farm also supports community safety initiatives that help make communities healthier places in which to live, work and do business. The flexible, far-reaching nature of the State Farm partnership is a critical asset to LISC.
