Another boost in the fight against hunger in Inland Empire
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 Inland Empire recently presented Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino and FIND Food Bank 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
Bank of America’s Inland Empire teammates connect our neighbors to sustainable careers through local workforce development initiatives. One example is our partnership with academic institutions and nonprofits to provide pathways to jobs in healthcare for students from Black, Hispanic and low-income communities.
Our local grants and volunteerism support access to funding, technical training, and financial literacy mentorship for the area’s entrepreneurs, including female and Hispanic small business owners. Bank of America is also a proud advocate for local affordable housing and racial equality initiatives, including arts and culture programs across our neighborhoods.
Job training for a healthier community
Designated by the federal government as a “medically underserved area,” the region of 4 million-plus people is already grappling with a nursing and doctor shortage, as well as high infant mortality rates. These issues are being exacerbated by the needs of the area’s rapidly growing 60-years-and-older population. To address this acute need for more medical professionals, the Riverside City College School of Nursing is establishing new pathways to nursing careers.
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.
The power of the arts
At Bank of America, we believe in the power of the arts to help economies thrive, educate and enrich societies, and create greater cultural understanding. That’s why we’re helping the arts flourish in communities across the globe.
