GEICO Cares In Action
GEICO Cares
GEICO understands our communities need us more than ever before. Our associates dedicate their time, talent, and treasures to making our local communities a better place for all of us through our GEICO Cares program. The program allows for our associates to participate in impactful campaigns and volunteer with local organizations with the help of our GEICO Cares Advocates to change the lives of people in their local community.
Our Efforts
Philanthropy at GEICO
At GEICO, philanthropy is one of the best ways we give back to the communities where our associates live and work. With GEICO Cares, we have raised and donated millions of dollars through partnership with United Way, National Urban League, Children's Hospital, and additional organizations brought forward by our associates. Learn more about our philanthropic efforts on our philanthropy page.
GEICO Fast Pitch Program
GEICO's annual Fast Pitch Program is designed to give our associates the ability to do even more to have a positive impact in their community. Each year the campaign allows for GEICO associates to pitch for funds for their favorite charity and opportunities to get their fellow associates more involved. After being voted on by their peers, the top winners then pitch their idea live in front of a committee that determines the donation GEICO will give to their organization. After receiving the donation, the associate presents the amount to the charity along with a few activities to get more associates involved in their impact. Through FastPitch, our associates have supported hundreds of charities across the country with advocacy, engagement, and support from their peers.
GEICO associates enter the competition by submitting their favorite charity.
Their peers vote on which submissions make it to the final round.
After the GEICO associate pitches their charity to a panel of judges, a winner is chosen.
Winners then present the donation to the winning charity, along with volunteer opportunities for more associate involvement.

What Our GEICO Cares Advocates Are Saying
"Sharing our time, treasure, or talent are important gifts we can provide to others. These efforts drive positive social and economic change that help make our communities safer, and better places for all of us. The work to achieve a bright future for all of us, will ultimately require the efforts of all of us."
