When including in-kind gifts and corporate volunteerism, Securian Financial’s giving totals nearly $37 million since 2008. In 2018 alone, Securian Financial contributed approximately $6.1 million in cash gifts, in-kind gifts and volunteer services.

Hansen has a bachelor’s degree in communications studies from the University of Minnesota and an MBA from Hamline University. She serves on the board of directors for BestPrep—a Minnesota nonprofit dedicated to preparing students with business, career and financial literacy skills—and she chairs the board of directors for 360 Communities, a Dakota County social services nonprofit focused on violence prevention, school success and providing community resources to those in need.
