IMT Community Contest

The IMT Insurance Community Contest awards town projects & organizations in need of funding. Whether your submissions reflect beautification, restoration and improvement initiatives, mentorship programs, first responders, or local non-profit organizations, the needs of your neighborhoods are important to us.

This year, IMT celebrates 28 years of supporting communities throughout Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, or Wisconsin with donations of either $500 or $1,000.

When selecting award recipients, the IMT review committee prefers programs and projects that meet our contest guidelines. Find out if your submission is eligible here: Community Contest Guidelines
