Delaware is your home. It’s ours, too.

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.

How we’re boosting the fight against hunger in Delaware
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 Delaware recently presented Food Bank of Delaware with a check for $350,000Footnote*. We’re proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.
Let’s build something together
We have a long history of supporting underserved communities across Delaware, from employee volunteerism to grants to matching gifts. To address the underlying issues facing communities of color affected disproportionately by the health crisis, we partnered with nonprofits and healthcare organizations to help distribute hundreds of thousands of masks, medications and other supplies. We’re funding workforce development programs across the state, from nonprofits to local community colleges to a well-respected HBCU, to help students expand their skillsets and prepare for high-paying and in-demand careers. This collaborative approach will expand the diverse talent pipeline as students pursue their careers. Now more than ever, we’re committed to making Delaware a great place for people to live and work.
Instilling the skills that build careers
Despite the individual and social benefits of a college degree, for many Black and Latino-Hispanic individuals, higher education opportunities remain stubbornly out of reach. Delaware State University is delivering a career-focused curriculum to help Black and Hispanic-Latino students find better jobs, change their career trajectory and help their families and communities.
Championing employment for individuals with disabilities
From employing individuals with disabilities to engaging employees through advocacy and volunteerism and ensuring our products and services are accessible, we’re committed to diversity and inclusion. Our Support Services team, operating out of Wilmington and other offices across the country, an is an in-house marketing and fulfillment operation made up of 300 employees with intellectual disabilities, who support every major line of business within the enterprise.
