Ameriprise Financial, Along with its Employees and Advisors, Gave More than $17.4 Million in Community Donations in 2022

Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP), along with its employees and advisors, donated more than $17.4 million through corporate and individual donations and gift matching in 2022. Continuing its longstanding commitment to helping individuals meet their basic needs, the firm focused on funding nonprofits working to solve domestic hunger, end homelessness and increase adult self-sufficiency through financial education and job training programs. Throughout the year, Ameriprise employees and advisors supported causes they care about by logging nearly 64,000 volunteer hours. In addition, the company deepened its 13-year partnership with Feeding America, through which more than 115 million meals have been provided to people in need.

“Nonprofits faced a fresh set of challenges in 2022 – notably inflation, supply chain issues and a tight labor market. At the same time, demand for their services surged as people facing hardships leaned on them for support,” said Brian Pietsch, head of community relations at Ameriprise. “This ‘perfect storm’ makes our longstanding commitment to the nonprofit community more important than ever. Our employees and advisors share our passion for giving back, and we’re pleased to make a collective impact in order to support these amazing nonprofits.”
