The company, along with its employees and
advisors, donated $17.5 million and volunteered close to 100,000
hours in 2019
In 2019, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP), along with its
employees and advisors, donated $17.5 million and volunteered close
to 100,000 hours at nonprofits in their communities. As a leader in
financial planning, the firm focuses on philanthropic causes that
strengthen communities and help individuals achieve economic
stability. To that end, throughout the year, Ameriprise helped
provide nearly 8 million meals to hungry families and individuals
through its longstanding partnership with Feeding America and other
hunger-relief organizations. In addition, the company continued its
ongoing support for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief and
International Services, which provide aid when disaster strikes
around the world.
Ameriprise employees and advisors once again demonstrated a deep
commitment to the causes they care about. More than two-thirds
(68%) participated in the firm’s annual giving campaign, far
surpassing the national average of 39%1. In addition, more than
10,000 Ameriprise advisors, employees and clients volunteered in
the firm’s two National Days of Service, working side-by-side at
food banks and pantries to provide meals for people struggling with
hunger.
“Millions of people each year find themselves turning to
nonprofit organizations to build a better future for themselves and
their families,” said Brian Pietsch, head of community relations at
Ameriprise. “The organizations we support help people learn skills
to land a higher-paying job, provide meals to hungry families and
offer a place to sleep when there’s nowhere else to turn. Notably,
these nonprofits are doing critical work to address socioeconomic
factors that lead to poverty. We’re proud to support their very
important missions.”
Corporate grants help families and individuals achieve
stability The Ameriprise grant program supports causes that
help end domestic hunger, provide essentials for those in need and
create vibrant communities. In 2019, the company funded 247 grants.
A few of the highlights include:

for Pride in Living (PPL) helps disrupt poverty for individuals and

self-reliance.
