Community Presence

Saving, rebuilding and enriching lives is what Nationwide's Corporate Citizenship is all about. Every day, we turn critical moments into powerful possibilities. It's another way we're helping people when it matters most.

• The Nationwide Foundation − We're positively impacting the quality of life in communities where our associates, agents and their families live and work. The highest priority for our grants is investing in nonprofit organizations whose services provide emergency and basic needs, or stabilize a crisis situation.
