The Nationwide Foundation generously supports the non-profit organization Farm Safety 4 Just Kids. The Nationwide Insurance Foundation is an independent corporation funded by Nationwide Companies to help positively impact the quality of life in communities where our customers, employees, agents and their families live and work.

"The Nationwide Foundation has been a generous sponsor of Farm Safety 4 Just Kids for years and their support provides us the resources we need to continue to educate youth on dangers around the farm," said David Schweitz, executive director of Farm Safety 4 Just Kids.

Farm Safety 4 Just Kids was created in 1987 by Marilyn Adams after the death of her 11-year-old son. The organization works to raise awareness about the health and safety hazards that are an inherent part of the rural environment in which children live, work, and play. Over 120 chapters in the United States and Canada conduct safety and health programs within their communities.

Thanks to the support of agri-business sponsors like The Nationwide Foundation, Farm Safety 4 Just Kids is able to provide their volunteers with up to date and pertinent safety education and demonstration resources.
