About

Columbia Threadneedle Foundation is committed to investing in the community through partnerships that create positive social impact. We focus on charities that use education, art and sport to engender lasting social change. Common threads we look for in our programmes and charity partners include the ability to build skills and confidence, challenge perspectives and broaden horizons.

We apply a responsible and rigorous process to the Foundation's investments to ensure long-term sustainable partnerships are created. The Foundation aims to grow its investment in the community by working with partners that reflect Columbia Threadneedle's principles of responsibility, integrity and excellence in the work they do.

In addition to financial support, the Foundation provides volunteering and pro bono opportunities for Columbia Threadneedle employees, to encourage meaningful engagement with our charity partners. The Foundation also supports the tremendous efforts of employees raising money for charity, via payroll giving and matched giving programmes.

Columbia Threadneedle's commitment to investing in the community reflects that of our parent company Ameriprise Financial. In 2012, Ameriprise Financial was named in The Civic 50 - an evaluation ranking American companies that best use their time, talent and resources to improve the quality of life where they do business.
