The State Farm Youth Advisory Board, a group of 30 students who are passionate about social responsibility, reviewed the submissions and selected the top 200 finalists based on criteria they created. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During my time on the State Farm Youth Advisory Board, I&#8217;ve garnered a deep appreciation for the Neighborhood Assist grant program,&#8221; said Youth Advisory Board member Wesley Dixon a senior at Yale University \u2013 New Haven. &#8220;I absolutely love that this grant program removes many of the barriers individuals often face when applying for grants, through its use of a simple and accessible application.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Once the Youth Advisory Board selected the top 200, the program connected each cause with a local nonprofit that can help solve the problem. 42 states have causes in the top 200.\u00a0 The states with the most submissions in the top 200 were Arkansas (14), Maryland (12), California (10), Illinois (10) and Ohio (10). \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The State Farm Youth Advisory Board aims to review and fund grants of a diverse nature,&#8221; Dixon continued. &#8220;What&#8217;s more, the Neighborhood Assist program empowers communities and individuals to support the grant of their choice by facilitating an open voting system via Facebook.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The 200 causes have until June 3 to rally votes and anyone voting is allowed up to 10 votes per day. On June 16, the top 40 vote-receiving causes will be announced on the Facebook app and a $25,000 grant will be awarded to the affiliated nonprofits. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over the past three years, it&#8217;s been great to see State Farm Neighborhood Assist grants support causes that positively impact communities across the country,&#8221; said Kellie Clapper, State Farm Assistant Vice President.\u00a0 &#8220;The communities themselves can play an important role in inspiring people to rally and vote for these important causes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For a complete list of the top 200 causes or to vote for a cause, get the free Facebook app at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.statefarm.com\/neighborhoodassist\" target=\"_blank\">www.statefarm.com\/neighborhoodassist<\/a><u>.<\/u>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><b>About State Farm\u00ae:<\/b>\u00a0<br \/>State Farm and its\u00a0affiliates are the largest provider of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.statefarm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">car insurance<\/a>\u00a0in the U.S. In addition to providing\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.statefarm.com\/insurance\/quote\/arq.asp\" target=\"_blank\">auto insurance\u00a0quotes<\/a>, their 18,000 agents and more than 65,000 employees serve over 82 million policies and accounts \u2013 nearly 80 million auto, home, life, health and commercial policies, and nearly 2 million bank accounts.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.statefarm.com\/insurance\/business\/bus_auto.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Commercial auto insurance<\/a>, along with coverage for renters, business owners, boats and motorcycles, is available.
