Indiana Youth

Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance believes one of the best and most important ways we can "give back" is by supporting and encouraging the next generation. Investing in our young people today is a solid investment in our state for tomorrow, which is why many of our corporate citizenship efforts focus on programs to benefit our Indiana youth.

Amber Alert

In 2002, Indiana joined the ranks of several other states that have activated a statewide Amber Alert system. Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance is proud to partner with the State of Indiana to sponsor Amber Alert Indiana. The Amber Alert system was created to expedite the investigation into the abductions of children. Our company underwrites the cost of the toll-free telephone line that is used to collect tips from the public once an Amber Alert is issued.

eXceL Awards

Twenty years ago, Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance began sponsoring Project XL - which later evolved into the eXceL Awards competition - the premier Indiana high school arts competition and recognition for our talented high school artists and performers. Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance has strived to make a difference in those young lives in many ways, including awarding more than $700,000 in scholarships.

Today, the climate is much different than it was 20 years ago. Considerable pressure is on all companies to streamline operations and control costs. As a result, the 2008-2009 competition was our last. read more >>

National FFA Convention

The National FFA Board of Directors selected Indianapolis as the convention host city beginning 2006; a seven-year commitment that will keep the event in Indy through 2012. From 2013-2019, FFA will rotate its annual convention between Indianapolis and Louisville. The convention brings approximately $30 million in economic impact annually to our city.

Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance has stepped up as an important partner in the effort to showcase Indiana through the National FFA Convention. Indiana Farm Bureau and FFA share the objective of making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Teenage Driver Safety and Education Program

The Teenage Driver Safety and Education Program was created for the purpose of giving back to youthful drivers when they fulfill their promise to drive safely and complete our Driver Safety and Education Course. This program offers a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond to eligible teens who enroll in the program and successfully complete all of the requirements. Since the program began in 1993, Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance has rewarded safe teen drivers with nearly 12,000 savings bonds.
