Ameriprise Financial Helps Bring 11 Million Meals to Families in Need

Company matching public donations to Feeding America®
now through Thanksgiving

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In support of the 42 million Americans who struggle with hunger,
Ameriprise Financial, Inc. is once again doubling the impact of
donations to Feeding America® now through Thanksgiving.*
Every dollar donated through the Ameriprise Financial Challenge (up to
$500,000) will provide 22 meals to families in need, twice the amount of
a standard donation. Participation is easy – simply visit: supportfeedingamerica.org/Ameriprise
to give online.

“Far too many Americans don’t have access to the food they need,” said
Brian Pietsch, head of community relations at Ameriprise Financial. “The
simplest day-to-day tasks can feel impossible when you lack sustenance
and proper nutrition. Through the Ameriprise Challenge, people can make
their donations go further and help even more families and individuals
who face hunger.”

Since establishing a partnership with Feeding America in 2009,
Ameriprise advisors, employees, and clients have provided more than 64
million meals and have volunteered more than 210,000 hours to support
hunger-relief organizations nationwide. The Ameriprise Financial
Challenge was established in 2010 to encourage additional donations to
Feeding America. In total, the campaign has provided more than 100
million meals to American families.**

“Most of us don’t have to worry about whether or not we’ll be able to
put food on the table. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for one in
eight people who struggle with hunger in this country,” said Matt Knott,
president of Feeding America. “Through support from partners like
Ameriprise, we’re bringing greater awareness to this very real issue,
which reaches every community in America. Our hope is that as people
learn more about hunger, they choose to take action and make a
difference for children, families and older Americans facing hunger. We
encourage everyone to donate, advocate, and volunteer to help end hunger
today.”
