What We Fund
Our funding priorities
We make our funding decisions based on our Community Impact Model. In order of priority we support:
Tier 1: Emergency and Basic Needs
Aligned to our business, Nationwide is there to help in an emergency.
We partner with organizations that provide life’s basic necessities.
Tier 2: Crisis Stabilization
Before a crisis happens or after one hits, Nationwide holds the
safety net. We partner with organizations that provide resources to
prevent crises or help pick up the pieces after one occurs.
Tier 3: Personal and Family Empowerment
Nationwide helps at-risk youth and families in poverty situations
who need tools and resources to advance their lives. We partner with
organizations that assist individuals in becoming productive members of
society.
Tier 4: Community Enrichment
Nationwide understands the well-being of a community affects all
who live in it. We partner with organizations that contribute to the
overall quality of life in a community.
