About Me

All my life, I have believed in the power of people. I believe that we want to help each other and achieve great things. That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to problem solving, building, and innovating by creating companies, campaigns, and projects.

  • At age 12, I founded my first nonprofit, which mobilized more than 7,500 youth across the country to create and lead their own service projects.

  • At age 17, I was recruited by a Fortune 100 company to lead their flagship philanthropic initiative, which awarded more than $10 million in grants to youth-led projects across North America.

  • At this same time, I created a youth sports and enrichment company that I quickly grew to provide affordable camps to thousands of families each year across Texas and beyond.

  • At age 27, I joined Southern Methodist University to create and build signature, large-scale projects at the intersection of education and social impact, such as a PreK - 8 STEM School and the Youth Sports Impact Partnership.

In July 2022, I joined The Allstate Foundation to lead their youth empowerment pillar and reimagine their youth-focused philanthropy. I built a robust and comprehensive national strategy focused on empowering youth (ages 5 - 25) to serve and improve communities. In less than two years, The Allstate Foundation became a leader in corporate philanthropy and brought awareness to the importance of youth service.

In October 2024, I was promoted to Director of The Allstate Foundation & Social Impact. I now oversee the Foundation's social impact areas, including relationship abuse, youth empowerment and nonprofit capacity building.

Outside of Allstate, I continue supporting today's and tomorrow’s leaders by serving on the boards of March for Our Lives, Tufts University's CIRCLE, and SXSW EDU.

I also provide consultative services to individuals and organizations around ideation, concept development, startups, youth and young adult programming, business strategy, youth and collegiate athletics, and more.

"Greg Weatherford II started his first nonprofit at the ripe age of 12. Fast-forward two decades, and he’s still at it — albeit on a much larger scale. After just two years at The Allstate Foundation, Weatherford has overhauled and shifted the organization’s focus to empower youth to serve and improve communities across the country, essentially by teaching young kids the skill of service.

Under Weatherford’s leadership and some newly formed partnerships, Allstate has become one of only a handful of Fortune 500 companies to put funds directly in the hands of youth leaders."
