Recipient of Travelers Excellence in Community
Resilience Award to Receive $100,000
The Travelers Foundation, the charitable arm of The Travelers
Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV), today announced that it is accepting
applications for its annual Travelers Excellence in Community
Resilience Award. The award was created to recognize nonprofits
dedicated to helping communities prepare for, and recover from,
catastrophic events. The winning organization will receive a
$100,000 grant, presented at the annual “Kicking Off Hurricane
Preparedness Season” symposium in June, hosted by the company’s
public policy division, the Travelers Institute.
“Effective disaster response and preparation programs lead to
stronger communities,” said Marlene Ibsen, CEO and President of the
Travelers Foundation. “The Travelers Excellence in Community
Resilience Award provides an opportunity for those organizations
that are helping create a more resilient country to gain additional
resources and make an even greater impact.”
Previous Travelers Excellence in Community Resilience Award
recipients are the Lowlander Center, a Louisiana-based nonprofit
organization that provides education, research and advocacy for the
state’s coastal communities; All Hands Volunteers, a nonprofit
disaster relief organization; and Team Rubicon, a nonprofit that
leverages the skills and experiences of military veterans to deploy
emergency response teams after disasters.
For award criteria, applicant guidelines or to apply, please

accepted now through Dec. 15, 2017.
