Causes we care about

Along with making the financial lives of our clients better, we're improving our community, too. Through financial support, volunteerism and collaboration with partners, we're helping to build a stronger community.

Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15. ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual has donated more than $20 million to support ALSF. Locally, the Des Moines office is proud to host events such as our annual charity golf tournament to help raise money that will go toward changing the lives of children with cancer.

Meals from the Heartland

Hunger is an issue that affects communities here and abroad. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Meals from the Heartland to provide nutritious food to hungry Iowans and beyond. Whether we’re volunteering to prepare meals or donating money, our office is helping to make a positive impact in communities worldwide.
