Peter Mannino | President, Bank of America East Central Florida
East Central Florida 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 East Central Florida
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 East Central Florida recently presented Halifax Urban Ministries, Inc. with a check for $25,000Footnote*. We’re proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.
Let’s build something together
Bank of America’s commitment to supporting the local communities of Brevard, Volusia and Flagler counties has been at the center of all that we do in East Central Florida. This is evident in our employee volunteerism; proud support of local nonprofit organizations, such as Neighbor Up Brevard, which focuses on community revitalization through mentorship; and our efforts during the global pandemic to donate more than one million masks, along with additional personal protective equipment, throughout our service areas.
We also help our local small business customers navigate the pathway toward financial success, so they can hire more of our neighbors and support job creation.
We strive to truly be an engaged member of our East Central Florida communities, and the scale and scope of our global network has enabled us to extend our strength and resources to these areas in meaningful ways. This year and beyond, we are looking forward to reconnecting with our teammates, customers and community partners in person while continuing to leverage technology in new ways to bring people and powerful ideas together.
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.
Fueling economic growth through jobs and skills development
The job skills gap has disproportionately affected Black and Latino individuals – and this disparity has been compounded by the coronavirus. To help address this gap, Bank of America works with local nonprofits, employers and broader networks across the country to support skills-training programs that meet the specific workforce demands of local communities. The result is a diverse talent pipeline for employers – and a clear path to employment for individuals.
