In recognition of the firm’s 130th anniversary, Ameriprise also donated an additional $130,000 to hunger relief organizations, providing more than one million meals to people in need

Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) today announced it recently donated nearly $2 million to nonprofits across the U.S. as part of its first-round of 2024 grants. In conjunction with its robust volunteer program, the company awards grant dollars to nonprofits twice annually to strengthen communities and help individuals meet their basic needs and find paths to financial independence.

“Too many Americans lack access to basic needs such as food, emergency shelter, and affordable housing -- as well as job training and employment opportunities that could help put them on a path to economic self-sufficiency,” said Jennifer Jones, vice president of community relations at Ameriprise. “We have a longstanding commitment to nonprofits that provide these essential resources to individuals and families in need. We are proud to continue our support and help our nonprofit partners strengthen and foster resilient communities.”

Highlights from Ameriprise’s First Round Grantee

Ameriprise is dedicated to leveraging its resources and talents to improve the lives of individuals and families while helping build strong communities.

A few grant highlights include:

  • The Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, Charlotte, N.C. provides nutritious meals to kids who are at risk of hunger when they are on summer break and no longer have access to school meals. The grant from Ameriprise Financial supports general operations for the food bank, making it possible for them to distribute more than 78 million pounds of food each year for approximately 3.8 million individuals.
  • Lake Street Council, in Minneapolis, Minn. focuses on community development and revitalizing small businesses and fostering community growth through various projects and programs. The Lake Street Council received $20,000 from Ameriprise Financial to fund small business support programs. Founded in 1968, the Minneapolis nonprofit’s mission is to foster economic vitality and amplify Lake Street's vibrancy to create a thriving and livable commercial corridor.
  • Founded in 1974, Rosie’s Place, in Boston, Mass. was the first women’s shelter in the United States. Today, their mission remains to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the more than 12,000 women who depend on their services for support, housing, and education services. Funding from Ameriprise Financial supports Rosie’s Place’s emergency and stabilization services, helping women meet their basic and critical needs and make a fresh start.
  • American Corporate Partners (ACP) in New York, N.Y. is dedicated to helping Veterans and active-duty military members and their spouses transition to the private sector through one-on-one mentoring with business leaders. They believe that the biggest issue facing our returning service members is not unemployment – it’s underemployment. Since the start of the partnership, 87 Ameriprise mentors have supported over 130 proteges with their professional development.
