In the Community
Grinnell Mutual understands that making the world a better place begins at home. We believe in extending a compassionate hand to the people who live and work in the communities we call home. And our scholarship program, Road to Success, actively supports and encourages our youngest auto insurance customers with annual scholarships totaling $80,000.

We’re rooted in humanity
At Grinnell Mutual, we look beyond our walls and embrace not only our neighbors, but individuals and families we’ll never meet. The Grinnell Mutual Group (GMG) Foundation was established to help sustain nonprofit organizations committed to education, healthcare, agriculture, community development, and our employees' civic involvement.
The GMG Foundation and Grinnell Mutual support organizations that reflect who we are and embody the things we believe everyone is deserving of: hope, encouragement, and compassion. Contact us for more information about the GMG Foundation or to inquire about foundation support of your organization.
