Our culture of giving back is integral to who we are
at Ameriprise. Our employees and nancial advisors
gave more than ever in 2014. We support them in
their giving of time and money through volunteer
programs, company gift matching and our Annual
Giving Campaign. We’re proud of the collective
difference we make through 6,000 nonprots
across the globe.
• 66,000 volunteer hours
• $12 million in grants, individual giving
and matching funds
• We continue to set the bar on corporate
giving campaigns with 80 percent of
corporate employees giving through our
Annual Giving Campaign.
Respect for individuals and for the
communities in which we live and work
One in six Americans continue to struggle with
hunger. We’re working to change that. In 2014,
Ameriprise, our employees and nancial advisors
donated more than 10 million meals. Since beginning
our partnership with Feeding America® in 2009,
we have donated more than 40 million meals and
130,000 volunteer hours to support hunger relief.
In 2014, Ameriprise held its fth annual
National Day of Service with more than 12,000
Ameriprise employees, nancial advisors and
clients volunteering at Feeding America food banks
and other hunger relief organizations across all 50
states, Washington, D.C., and in the U.K.
A Culture
of Giving Back
During the year, we raised our quarterly dividend again, increasing it 12% — the seventh
increase over the past ve years. We also announced a new $2.5 billion share repurchase
authorization, which we’ve put to work. In 2014, we returned $1.8 billion to shareholders,
marking the fourth consecutive year we returned more than 100% of our operating
earnings to shareholders, while continuing to hold more than $2 billion in excess capital
and maintaining our strong ratings.
As I look forward, our goal is to continue to return a large majority of our earnings to
shareholders annually. I believe that as we execute our strategy, the contributions from
Advice & Wealth Management and Asset Management will continue to expand.
