Vibrant communities create opportunities for individuals, families, businesses and institutions to grow and thrive. That’s why we support organizations that help make each community a place where current and future employees want to live and work.
We are particularly invested in the communities of our Horace Mann office locations, including Springfield, Ill.; Dallas, Texas; Madison, Wis.; and Cherry Hill, N.J.
Investing in Strong Schools & Communities
We believe strong schools and strong communities go hand in hand. Through strategic partnerships and targeted grant funding, we support initiatives that:
- Address basic needs
- Promote student growth
- Assist in disaster recovery
- Provide economic and workforce development opportunities
In 2024, the Horace Mann Educators Foundation directed nearly $380,000 to schools and charitable organizations supporting these initiatives within our communities.
Strengthening Community Programs
Through United Way partnerships in Springfield, Ill.; Dallas, Texas.; Madison, Wis.; and Southern New Jersey (Cherry Hill), we contribute to programs that:
- Advance educational achievement and mentorship
- Support family stability and financial empowerment
- Expand food security and digital literacy
United Way’s 211 Helpline and Digital Navigator Network have helped thousands access housing, employment resources and economic stability support.
