Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America contributed $275,000 in 2011 to Twin Cities metro area charitable organizations focused on senior services.  Organizations received grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to support programs that address a variety of issues including home food delivery, transportation, exercise and wellness.
