Our mission – “We secure your future” – doesn’t stop at managing risk in retirement.

For Allianz, it also means helping to secure the future of our community by reducing barriers to economic inclusion. Our goal is to support financial stability for people in our community today to help them achieve a financially sustainable and secure tomorrow. We work towards this goal by providing annual charitable grants to nonprofit organizations that help people access basic needs, gainful employment, and financial education.

Allianz provides one-year grants in the seven-county Twin Cities metro area. Grants range from $25,000 to $50,000, but organizations with budgets under $2 million typically receive grants of $25,000.

Financial stability

Application due March 2, 2026

We understand that to be included in economic life, people need to meet their basic needs first. Allianz supports organizations that work to meet these needs, with a focus on creating stability and financial independence.

We provide grants to organizations that:

  • Provide food, clothing, shelter, and/or programming that supports individuals and families in increasing their financial stability (for example, food banks and transitional housing programs).

Financial sustainability and financial security

Application due July 1, 2026

Financial success is sustained through access to resources and opportunities for gainful employment, as well as through knowledge and preparation that supports long-term financial security and retirement readiness. Allianz supports organizations that help members of the community be successful in the workforce, including through college preparedness, skills training, entrepreneurial support, and access to capital and investment, as well as organizations that help ensure all community members have skills for financial well-being, are protected from fraud and other financial abuses, and know how to prepare for their future.

We provide grants to organizations that:

  • Help high school students and adults prepare for and access post-secondary education.
  • Provide job and career skills training and placement.
  • Provide business development services and financial empowerment support for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
  • Help youth, adults, and families build financial knowledge, skills, and habits so that they can define their financial goals, develop financial plans, and improve their long-term financial well-being.
  • Support prevention and intervention of elder financial abuse.
