Ameriprise Financial, headquartered in Minneapolis, earned a mention by the
Philanthropy Journal for its annual giving campaign, which raised $5.5 million to be distributed to nonprofit organizations throughout 2011, according to a press release.
Featured partners include Community Health Charities, Earth Share, Global Impact, United Way and Feeding America, for whom Ameriprise matched pledges from its franchise advisors to provide 1.5 million meals.
Employees were also free to choose eligible nonprofits as recipients; as a result, nearly 5,000 organizations will receive donations, according to the release.
