American Family Insurance, also known as AmFam, is a private mutual company based in the United States that specializes in property, casualty, and car insurance, as well as commercial insurance, life, health, and homeowners coverage, and investment and retirement-planning products. It is a Fortune 500 business with revenue of more than $9.5 billion in 2017. The American Family Insurance Group is headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, and had regional corporate offices in Minnetonka/Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Saint Joseph, Missouri, Denver, Colorado, and Columbus, Ohio as of 2011.
The origins of American Family Insurance can be traced back to October 3, 1927, when insurance salesman Herman Wittwer established Farmers Mutual Insurance Company (not to be mistaken with the Farmers Insurance Group) in Madison, Wisconsin. The company’s sole product at the time was auto insurance, and its primary market was farmers. Wittwer thought farmers posed fewer risks than city drivers because they drove less frequently and did not drive at all during the winter.
Farmers Mutual has expanded its market and product line over the years to suit the changing needs of its customers. Farmers Mutual Insurance Company was renamed American Family Mutual Insurance Company in 1963 to represent its broader customer base. In 2017, AmFam started the ongoing DreamFearlessly campaign. AmFam ambassadors use this hashtag to promote the cause on social media. The promotion invites consumers to express how they “dream fearlessly” for causes such as social justice, women in technology, and economic empowerment. Kathy Ireland and her crew were brought on board early to assist with ambassador duties. Blake Van Leer, a long-time supporter of the Society of Women Engineers, assisted in managing the effort from its inception.
Term, universal, and whole life insurance; personal and business auto insurance, personal umbrella insurance, home insurance; motorcycle, boat, motor home, snowmobile, and car insurance; business liability key policy, and business policy package insurance; farm and ranch liability insurance; travel, trip cancellation, and global medical insurance are all available through American Family.
The business also has a “Dreamkeep Rewards” program for their insureds, which offers small to large rewards for completing various online tasks. American Family Insurance received the National Safety Council’s Teen Driving Safety Leadership Award in 2010. The business has given a video feedback program (using the DriveCam system) in which parents can watch their teens’ actual driving actions through its “Teen Safe Driver Program.” Scientists at the University of Iowa found that the practice reduced risky driving behavior by 70%. Because of its discounts for same-sex couples, American Family was named the most LGBT-friendly insurance business by Out Magazine in 2015.
American Family Insurance revealed a $10 million gift on March 4, 2003, kicking off the campaign to establish the American Family Children’s Hospital at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics. Through employee, agent, and extra corporate donations, the original gift grew by several million dollars. The hospital first opened its doors in September 2007.
