Overview

The Ameriprise Financial grant program aims to support the community through three primary focus areas: Meeting Basic Needs, Supporting Community Vitality, and Volunteer Driven Causes. The grants prioritize projects that involve Ameriprise employees and financial advisors in volunteer roles. Under Meeting Basic Needs, the program supports efforts to address hunger, shelter, and adult self-sufficiency. For Supporting Community Vitality, the program focuses on community development, economic development, and cultural enrichment. Volunteer Driven Causes funding is allocated based on current Ameriprise volunteer involvement, supporting a wide array of nonprofit initiatives that benefit from Ameriprise team volunteer efforts.
