History

In 1897, the company that would become Encompass began selling personal insurance under the motto "Protection and Security." The company’s package policy dates back to then.

In 1999, Illinois-based Allstate Insurance Company purchased the personal lines insurance business from CNA Financial when CNA moved toward commercial lines. Allstate then introduced the Encompass name to its subsidiary in 2000.

Encompass has 2,400 independent agents in 42 states.[3]

Encompass was the title sponsor of the Encompass Championship Tour celebrity pro-am golf tournament in Tampa, Florida, in February 2012, and in Glenview, Illinois, from 2013-2015.[4]

In February 2015, the Encompass Championship was the Donor Spotlight for the First Tee Open, a youth development initiative of the World Golf Foundation supported by organizations in golf including the Masters Tournament, Ladies Professional Golf Association, Professional Golfers’ Association of America, PGA Tour and United States Golf Association. The Encompass Championship selected three other youth-serving organizations as charity partners that year as well: Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund, Junior Achievement of Chicago and JDRF.[5]
