We're committed to strengthening our communities because they're our homes, too.
Making an impact
From families creating better lives to communities and coalitions promoting the greater good, we support all kinds of efforts to build a brighter future.
We're helping people, businesses, and local communities pursue opportunities to thrive.
Treating the earth well is more than a feel-good endeavor. It’s also smart financially, and we’re doing our part.

Closing the digital divide, opening new opportunities
For young people, the digital divide can be a daunting barrier to entry for careers in IT. That’s why NPower Michigan offers Tech Fundamentals, an education and job placement program for young people ages 18-25 and military veterans that provides the skills training and career pathways needed to enter and succeed in this growing field. A grant from Bank of America has helped NPower Michigan continue to offer Tech Fundamentals and support the expansion of the program.
Smart & sustainable projects
Clean drinking water helps not only a community’s health, but its finances, too. In fact, every $1 invested in water saves $4.30 in health care costs.
Though the rewards of clean water investments can be far reaching, implementing these projects often present complex challenges that can take creative teamwork. That's why we often use blended finance to help private investors, governments and charities collaborate on sustainable projects in the developing world.
