Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) has been named a recipient of the 2026 Gold Halo Award for Best Direct Service Initiative by Engage for Good, recognizing the firm’s philanthropic partnership with Angel Foundation™, a Minnesota-based nonprofit that provides relief to adults with cancer and their loved ones. The Halo Awards honor the most innovative and effective initiatives between companies and nonprofits that deliver measurable social impact. Ameriprise was recognized for its support of Angel Foundation’s Financial Care Program, which provides personalized financial education, planning and guidance designed to help individuals and families reduce the financial stress and uncertainty that often accompany cancer diagnosis.

Angel Foundation’s Financial Care Program offers one-on-one financial planning sessions, workshops and on-demand learning modules designed to help cancer patients manage debt, build budgets and plan for immediate and long-term financial needs. Ameriprise supports the program through philanthropic funding and by providing pro bono Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) volunteers who help individuals and families facing cancer take greater control of their finances so they can focus on their health and recovery.

“Angel Foundation’s Financial Care Program is about helping people feel more in control when so much feels uncertain,” said Jennifer Jones, Vice President of Community Relations at Ameriprise Financial. “By combining financial support with the time and talent of our advisors and employees, we are able to make a meaningful difference for individuals and families facing cancer – and we’re honored this work is being recognized.”

“The commitment and support of Ameriprise and their volunteers is transformational for our clients,” said Dave Becker, President and CEO of Angel Foundation. “This partnership demonstrates the powerful role financial planning can play in helping families navigate life-altering challenges. We’re proud to be recognized alongside Ameriprise for a program that truly changes lives.”

To date, Angel Foundation’s Financial Care Program has served more than 1,300 families with essential programming through workshop sessions and pro bono financial advice led by Ameriprise employees and advisors with a CFP® designation, helping reduce anxiety, improve financial stability, and enable patients to focus more fully on their health, recovery, and quality of life.
