Each year, State Farm® donates millions of dollars to nonprofits across the United States. State Farm Neighborhood Assist™ lets you decide where the money should go.
What is Neighborhood Assist?Neighborhood Assist is a crowd-sourced giving initiative that lets communities determine where grant funding is awarded, exclusively through Facebook.
Neighborhood Assist contrasts with other crowd-sourced charitable programs in that it asks consumers to submit the cause of problems in their community, but not necessarily to own the solution to that problem.
Neighborhood Assist has three phases.
1. Submission Phase – Mar 3 to Mar 23:
Facebook users submit causes they think deserve a $25,000 grant, maximum of 4,000 submissions
2. Vetting Phase – Mar 24 to Apr 27:
The State Farm® Youth Advisory Board narrows down the submissions to 200 causes and pair them with nonprofit orgs that can help make them happen.
3. Voting Phase – Apr. 28 to May 16:
Facebook users will vote to select the Top 40 causes. Each user has up to 10 votes per day.
The Top 40 vote-getters will each receive a $25,000 grant. The announcement of winners is planned for May 27.
