We’re motivated by the fact that educators take care of our children’s future, and we believe they deserve someone to look after theirs. We help educators identify their financial goals and develop plans to achieve them. This includes insurance to protect what they have today and financial products to help them prepare for their future. Our tailored offerings include special rates and benefits for educators.

View company profile

We were founded in 1945 in Springfield, Illinois, by two teachers who believed that educators deserved high-quality, affordable auto insurance. This foundational principle of serving those who serve our communities has been our guiding light for over 75 years. From those humble beginnings, our mission has expanded significantly. Today, we are proud to be the largest national multiline insurance and financial services company dedicated to the financial well-being of America's educators and their families. Our purpose is to help them protect what they have today and prepare for a successful tomorrow. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with a career in education, and we've tailored our products and services to meet those specific needs.

Our commitment extends beyond just providing insurance policies. We strive to be a lifelong partner for educators, offering a comprehensive suite of financial solutions. This includes auto, home, and life insurance, as well as retirement annuities and other financial products. We partner directly with school districts to offer a range of employer- and employee-paid benefits, such as group life, disability, and specialty health insurance. We believe in empowering educators with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve their financial goals. That's why we provide valuable resources like our Student Loan Solutions program, which helps educators navigate the complexities of loan forgiveness, and financial wellness workshops, both online and in-person. Our partnership with DonorsChoose also allows us to help educators secure funding for their classroom projects. At our core, we are a company built on the hard work, commitment, and dedication of our employees, who are passionate about supporting the education community.
