Everyday dedication meets everyday appreciation

We continue to invest in our employees with initiatives like Sharing Success, which awarded 96% of colleagues additional compensation this year, nearly all in stock. This is the sixth time teammates received this award, totaling more than $4 billion. We are committed to being a Great Place to Work for our teammates locally and around the globe including providing leading benefits, minimum wage at $22/hr on track to $25/hr by 2025 and opportunities to build a career with us.

Another boost in the fight against hunger in Hampton Roads

We're committed to supporting our employees' health and safety and to addressing our local communities' most critical needs. That's why we've donated to local hunger-relief organizations on behalf of each employee who received a COVID-19 vaccine or booster and/or a flu shot.* In addition, employees are doubling the impact of their personal donations to fight hunger with our matching gifts program.

Through this effort, our team in Hampton Roads recently presented Judeo-Christian Outreach Center and Williamsburg House of Mercy with checks totaling $25,000. We're proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.

Let’s build something together

The presence now owned and operated by Bank of America in Hampton Roads traces its local history back more than 150 years. To support economic opportunity in the 17 municipalities that comprise our modern footprint, we have created a workforce development cohort of academic, business and nonprofit leaders that provide pathways for local students to sustainable healthcare careers.

To support our small business community, we partner with economic development entities to expand access to capital and financial literacy mentorship for Black entrepreneurs. In addition, we help drive community revitalization initiatives to advance affordable housing and healthcare options for our neighbors in need.

Addressing employment inequality

The South Hampton Roads region of Virginia has an unemployment rate below the national, and the majority of unemployed residents are African American and Hispanic-Latino. Tidewater Community College (TCC), a community partner since 1968, is committed to addressing these inequities by providing job and skills-based training, tapping the resources of its Center for Workforce Solutions to help people from all backgrounds prepare for high-quality jobs.

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.
