more ways to go
We're always looking for ways to support people's choices in the communities we serve. That's why Bank of America is adding charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) to over 90 financial centers nationwide. For our customers who are interested, we have financing for EVs and charging accessories. And we're also supporting the choices our teammates make with employee rebates on EVs.

See how we put people firstLet’s build something together
As President of Bank of America Austin, I get to focus on the business and societal issues affecting Central Texas. I oversee the bank’s work connecting individuals, families, and businesses to resources that make their financial lives better from San Marcos to Georgetown. Through social responsibility efforts, I’m charged with helping strengthen economic opportunity and building strong communities, which are essential to Austin’s recovery and growth. These efforts, like funding workforce development and education, partnering with organizations like Foundation Communities and PeopleFund, and providing masks to small businesses and child care workers allows us to all come together as neighbors and partners toward a better Austin.
How to plant the seeds for tech success
Austin is emerging as one of technology’s most dynamic hubs, and many of the startups flourishing in and around the city are headed by women, Black and Hispanic-Latino founders. But these entrepreneurs often find that securing the early-stage capital they need can be an enormous barrier to success, which is why nonprofit DivInc makes direct grants to new tech companies with underrepresented founders.
Working to address affordable housing in Austin
As new businesses and jobs move to Austin, the need for affordable housing has only increased. To address the issue, several organizations in the Greater Austin area have been working on initiatives such as building homes for families in need, providing homebuyer counseling and education, and creating affordable communities that focus on green design elements.
