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.
Apply for a grant
Nonprofits may submit applications anytime and will be reviewed twice each year following the deadlines. Decisions will be communicated approximately four months from the deadline date.
