FUELING INNOVATION

Play Video about Anne Finucane

Anne Finucane at Axios: Why we're providing financial capital to fuel ideas.

Anne Finucane at Axios: Fueling ideas with financial capital.

Watch now

As a global community, we are facing so many challenges and we need to bring innovative ideas to life as fast as possible to address them.
We can connect money and capital to innovative ideas.
One way to do it is for a bank, to lend into a CDFI, which is a community development financial institution.
And the way it works is banks lend to the CDFIs at below-market rates.
The CDFIs then can lend to the individual or the small business at lower rates than they could get, using their credit card or online lending.
Our work with the Tory Burch Foundation is actually a terrific example of working with CDFIs and deploying capital to small businesses, but particularly women.
As she provides mentorship we provide capital, to get money into the system more quickly for women starting businesses so that they can get a jump on the economy and help local communities. Bank of America's commitment to CDFIs, and the billion dollars that we have put into more than 250 CDFIs, has allowed us to deploy capital into a community and for small businesses at a much earlier stage and make a huge difference in local economies.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Play Video about Eunice Kennedy Shriver

Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s words of empowerment and support still ring true.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s empowering words still ring true today.

Watch now

Eunice K. Shriver: Tonight, in this great stadium, a new legend is born.

You, athletes, are the heroes of that legend.

You have taught us that what truly counts is the courageous spirit and the generous heart.

The right to play on any playing field?

You have earned it.

The right to study in any school?

You have earned it.

The right to hold a job?

You have earned it.

The right to be anyone's neighbor?

You have earned it.

The days of separation and segregation are over.

As the philosopher wrote, “After conquering the winds and the waves, tides and gravity, we shall harness energies of love, and then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will discover fire.”
