Albany-Hudson Valley is your home. It’s ours, too.
We are committed to helping our communities thrive - dedicating our resources to address the issues that matter most in each community where we live and work.
Taking action to support our communities, clients and teammates
Now as always, our commitment to help strengthen the communities we serve is unwavering. We’re partnering with local leaders and organizations to advance racial equality and economic opportunity, support diverse and women entrepreneurs, build job skills and create opportunities to help people succeed in today’s and tomorrow’s economy. We’re investing in benefits and resources for our employees who serve our clients in their communities. And we’re doing our part to protect our planet.
Our presence in more than 90 local markets helps us make a difference across the country.
How we’re boosting the fight against hunger in Albany-Hudson Valley
We’re committed to supporting our employees’ health and safety and to addressing our local communities’ most critical needs. That’s why we donated $100 to local hunger-relief organizations for each Bank of America employee in the U.S. who let us know they’ve received a booster shot.
Through this effort, our team in Albany-Hudson Valley recently presented Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York with a check for $45,000Footnote*. We’re proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.
Let’s build something together
Bank of America diligently supports the delivery of essential services to neighbors in need throughout Albany-Hudson Valley. We have sponsored local nonprofits that address food insecurity and access to healthcare within low- to moderate-income areas, and we have partnered with nearby academic institutions that provide pathways to careers in healthcare and sustainability for underserved members of our community.
As part of our commitment to driving racial equality and economic opportunity, we also proudly engage community development organizations that empower Black, Hispanic and female entrepreneurs through increased access to funding and mentorship.
Successful transitions for the formerly incarcerated
Since 2009, CEO has advocated for investment in employment-focused reentry support, fair wages and vocational training programs. The organization was founded on the idea that everyone, regardless of their past, deserves the chance to work toward a stronger future for themselves, their families, and their communities. Bank of America support enables the organization to offer 115 people from the Capital Region jobs and skills training, food vouchers and other assistance.
Racial equality and economic opportunity
At Bank of America, we’re committed to addressing the root causes of inequality through a company-wide commitment to advancing racial equality and economic opportunity across diverse communities. We are doing this by building upon our existing efforts and leveraging our strengths: creating more affordable housing and expanding home ownership, increasing lending and support to minority-owned small businesses, championing job training and career readiness and addressing health disparities like access to care. We also know we can’t solve these challenges alone, so we’re partnering with other corporations, local nonprofits and community leaders across the country who share our vision for creating meaningful change.
