Another boost in the fight against hunger in Augusta and Aiken
We're committed to supporting our employees' health and safety and to addressing our local communities' most critical needs. That's why we've donated to local hunger-relief organizations on behalf of each employee who received a COVID-19 vaccine or booster and/or a flu shot.* In addition, employees are doubling the impact of their personal donations to fight hunger with our matching gifts program.
Through this effort, our team in Augusta and Aiken recently presented Family YMCA of Greater Augusta with a check for $25,000. We're proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.

Let’s build something together
In Augusta-Aiken, we’re working with communities that most need our support. We’re collaborating with local organizations that are helping drive job skills training, accelerating mixed income housing programs, providing significant capital through the Payment Protection Program and engaging in partnerships to support small businesses, notably in communities of color. Through these efforts, Bank of America is helping to enhance the vitality and vibrancy of our neighborhoods.
A fast lane to success for Georgia small business owners
A great idea is where a great business starts, but to be successful owners need to also master everything from bookkeeping and insurance to marketing and managing cash flow. That’s why the Greater Augusta Black Chamber of Commerce is helping minority entrepreneurs emerge from the pandemic stronger, with four weeks of classes covering administration, skills building and strategy and planning, and another six weeks of coaching and mentorship from experts.
A technical college with a human mission
Building on their longstanding work to attract and retain a younger workforce to its local community, Augusta Tech is doubling down their efforts to train a technically skilled workforce that meets the city’s evolving manufacturing needs. The 2-year academic and technical college, a Neighborhood Champion® award recipient, is refurbishing its Programmable Logic Control Lab to better prepare students for in-demand careers.
The power of the arts
At Bank of America, we believe in the power of the arts to help economies thrive, educate and enrich societies, and create greater cultural understanding. That’s why we’re helping the arts flourish in communities across the globe.
