Building trust and showing the members of our community that we're here to help—through on-the-ground efforts—makes my job very rewarding. I'm proud to call Buffalo home and so grateful that Bank of America can help make a difference.
Ted Janicki | President, Bank of America Buffalo
Buffalo 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 Buffalo
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 Buffalo recently presented FeedMore WNY with a check for $30,000Footnote*. We’re proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.
Let’s build something together
Now more than ever, we're focused on the economy here in Buffalo, from helping businesses rebound through the health crisis to opening up the pipeline to sustainable careers. Along with our private and nonprofit partners, we're funding programs that help people of color and low-income earners get certified for in-demand healthcare positions that provide family-sustaining wages. We're investing in local financial partners who are providing loans to spark job growth and create affordable housing. And, we're supporting programs that address food insecurity by adding vans for meal deliveries and making sure food banks remain stocked for neighbors in need. In the years ahead, we'll be supporting key initiatives that focus on neighborhood revitalization to keep Buffalo a great place to work and live.
A unique approach to wipe out poverty in Buffalo
The Buffalo Center for Arts and Technology’s (BCAT) ambition is to tackle poverty by offering high school students arts and technology classes and preparing under- and unemployed adults for careers that pay a living wage. Watch the video to learn how the two work together to reach BCAT’s objective.
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.
