Liberty Torchbearers
Each year, thousands of Liberty Mutual employees give, volunteer, and serve in support of the causes they care about.
Liberty Torchbearers empowers employees to make a meaningful impact in their communities by supporting the causes that matter most to them. In 2024, our Liberty Torchbearers program inspired 58% of our global workforce to actively engage and support their communities, reflecting our deep commitment to community involvement and marking a 21% increase from the previous year. Through Liberty Torchbearers, we encourage employees worldwide to share their greatest assets: their time and talent.
By engaging in hands-on volunteer activities with local nonprofit organizations, we expand our partners' capacity to address community needs. Volunteering at Liberty Mutual not only strengthens collaboration and expands internal networks. It also fosters connections throughout our global community.
Volunteering
Interns making a difference
Intern Give Back Day offers Liberty Mutual interns the opportunity to volunteer their time and skills to support local communities. Last year, more than 250 interns participated in volunteer events supporting Foster Love, a national nonprofit organization serving children experiencing foster care. These events involved preparing Sweet Case duffle bags with essentials like a teddy bear and hygiene kit for children transitioning to a foster home and Superhero Boxes to let kids dress up and play as heroes.
Skills-based volunteering
Employees from our Legal department provided 50 hours of pro-bono support for Project Citizenship and the City of Boston for Citizenship Day. Volunteers helped hundreds of immigrants overcome barriers to naturalization by supporting with application assistance, quality control and logistics for New England’s largest citizenship workshop.
Employee driven mini-grants
Employees who track their personal volunteer time on our Torchbearer platform are included in a quarterly drawing to earn a $500 mini-grant for a qualified nonprofit of their choice; last year, Liberty Mutual awarded 2,200 mini-grants, resulting in $1.1 million directed to 1,763 nonprofit organizations.
Employee Spotlights
Giving
Our employee matching gifts program, Give with Liberty, extends across the United States and Canada, offering a 100% company match on qualified charitable contributions, with no upper limit. Through Give with Liberty, more than 10,000 Liberty Mutual employees donated $7.1 million to more than 7,400 organizations, embodying the spirit of giving back and making a positive community impact.
Similarly, in our global markets, employees can nominate and direct contributions to local non-governmental organizations that are making a difference in their respective regions.
Supporting disaster relief efforts
When disaster strikes, immediate support is critical. That's why Liberty Mutual is a proud member of American National Red Cross' Annual Disaster Giving Program, committing at least $500,000 each year to proactively address disasters before they occur. Liberty Torchbearers also generously supported 12 disaster relief causes in 2024, raising a total of $281,342. Furthermore, in early 2025, when wildfires devastated Southern California, Liberty Mutual Foundation and our employees collectively donated $1.5 million to the American Red Cross to support relief efforts. We also launched a giving campaign among our employees to support wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles, with Liberty Mutual matching 100% of donations (with no upper limit).
Serve with Liberty
In May 2024, Serve with Liberty united thousands of employees worldwide in meaningful community service. Over 18,000 Liberty Mutual employees contributed almost 73,000 volunteer hours, supporting 900 local organizations chosen through employee nominations.
From organizing educational workshops and environmental cleanups to assisting food banks and community centers, our teams made a tangible impact around the world. Employees in China partnered with youth and senior organizations to provide mentorship and company, while those in the U.K. focused on refurbishing community gardens and supporting homeless shelters.
In the U.S., Liberty Mutual volunteers helped refurbish playgrounds and community spaces for underserved neighborhoods, reinforcing our commitment to building stronger, more resilient communities through hands-on engagement.
Our global impact
Liberty Specialty Markets and Liberty Mutual Reinsurance, both part of the Global Risk Solutions (GRS) business unit, have three-year global partnerships with two organizations voted on by employees:
ShelterBox: ShelterBox provides shelter, essential items and technical assistance to people affected by disasters and conflict. In 2024, we worked with ShelterBox to bridge the protection gap, providing communities beyond the reach of traditional insurance with the support needed to build resilience in the face of climate change. We specifically supported their work in Somalia, a country on the frontline of the climate crisis, where extreme conditions have destroyed homes and left families starving. Over the last year, we helped ShelterBox provide tailored shelter to more than 15,000 people.
Cool Earth: Cool Earth works with rainforest-based communities to halt deforestation and its impact on climate change. We collaborated with Cool Earth on a pilot for its Unconditional Cash Transfer project, which provides donations to Indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon to help them protect and remain in the rainforest. After just one year, the Cool Earth pilot has improved food security and nutrition, boosted participation in conservation activities and protected nearly 800 hectares (nearly 2,000 acres) of rainforest.
