Cleveland 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 Cleveland
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 Cleveland recently presented Greater Cleveland Food Bank with a check for $35,000Footnote*. We’re proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.
Let’s build something together
Across the state of Ohio, Bank of America is focused on addressing the needs of our customers, clients, employees and communities. Each member of our team is here to listen and learn what is most important to our clients. And then we try to help them reach their goals. This past year has been extraordinarily challenging, but we continued to open new retail banking locations and hire talented people to serve our customers’ banking needs, all the while supporting our communities. We’ve partnered with nonprofits that help our neighbors most in need. We’ve provided personal protection equipment for first responders, frontline workers and others to ensure our communities’ safety. Workforce development and skill building, notably in communities of color, continues to be one of our primary areas of support, with career-pathway partnerships at local colleges and nonprofit organizations.
Opportunities for entrepreneurs
The Northeast Ohio Center for Economic Development is providing training, support and affordable retail space to help local start-ups flourish in a new business and cultural hub in Cleveland's Clark-Fulton neighborhood. When the 32,500 square-foot multi-purpose space called CentroVilla25 is fully renovated, it will house a commercial kitchen, 20 retail stalls, coworking areas, a specialty grocer and an outdoor plaza. The goal is to create a space where local entrepreneurs can find everything they need for small business development.
Getting the job is just the first step
Initially set up to serve 349 job seekers facing high barriers to success, Towards Employment seeks to help individuals, many of whom are from minority and underserved neighborhoods, find a job and build a career. Their methods have proven successful in the past thanks to local partnerships with companies in high-demand industries. Now, they’re aiming to expand their WorkAdvance program to serve at least 1,200 residents of underserved communities to help even more members of their community find economic independence.
