Established in 2003, the Liberty Mutual Foundation supports communities where it operates. It aims to utilize the expertise, leadership, and financial strength of Liberty Mutual Insurance and its employees to improve the lives of vulnerable neighbors. The foundation focuses on empowering families and individuals facing hardships, primarily in Greater Boston, Greater Puget Sound, and select counties in Washington State. It emphasizes safety, resilience, educational opportunities, and workforce access.
The Liberty Mutual Foundation's grant program aims to strengthen community resilience and security, with a focus on vulnerable individuals and families. It supports innovative and scalable strategies to bridge the gap between climate change mitigation and adaptation. Specifically, the program looks for proposals in two areas: Housing Stability and Youth and Young Adult Workforce Development in Boston. It prioritizes efforts to increase housing stability across a range of situations and enhance workforce development opportunities for disconnected youth and young adults, targeting those experiencing homelessness, with disabilities, aging out of foster care, English Language Learners, and low-income individuals. The Foundation seeks proposals that demonstrate measurable outcomes and supports planning and implementation grants, with funding ranging from $25,000 to $200,000 for programs that can show a significant impact in the community.
