Let’s build something together

As our team faced back-to-back challenges from a natural disaster and a health crisis, we were grateful to have a company behind us that put our safety first and gave us emergency funds to help our community recover. Now, we're focused on workforce development efforts across the state. We support a great program that helps individuals and families become self-sufficient and self-reliant, preparing them for employment by addressing immediate needs, reducing barriers to employment, facilitating job readiness and assisting with job placement. Other initiatives focus on affordable housing for our minority, immigrant and low-income populations. We're also actively supporting a statewide organization dedicated to improving women's leadership roles by sharing best practices, connecting people and providing professional development opportunities in collaboration with businesses and healthcare institutions across Iowa.

Advancing Racial Equality and Economic Opportunity

The need for real progress on racial and economic inequality in the United States has been accentuated by the impact of the coronavirus on communities of color, and amplified by acts of injustice. We all have a role to play in helping move communities forward – an understanding that forms the foundation of Bank of America’s long-standing commitment to the people and communities it serves. And they’re at the heart of the bank’s $1.25 billion commitment over the next five years to advance racial equality and economic opportunity.

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.
