Grant making
Awarding grant dollars to nonprofits is one way we strengthen our communities and help individuals on a path to financial independence. To ensure we're meeting the needs of our communities and making an even greater collective impact, we focus on three key giving areas when awarding grants.
Meeting Basic Needs
Helping people find their next meal, a place to sleep or a job that provides a livable wage.
Supporting Community Vitality
Revitalizing housing and neighborhoods and enhancing cultural awareness.
Volunteer Driven Causes
Extending the impact of Ameriprise volunteer teams.
Community grants
In 2017 Ameriprise awarded 192 grants, including national grants to Feeding America and the American Red Cross, as well as local grants in 30 states and Washington, D.C.
