Raul A. Anaya | President, Bank of America Los Angeles
Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles
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 Los Angeles recently presented Los Angeles Regional Food Bank with a check for $250,000Footnote*. We’re proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.
Let’s build something together
For more than 100 years, Bank of America has been investing in the creative entrepreneurs, innovative non-profits and dynamic industries that drive LA. Today, we aspire to provide the civic leadership to help revitalize the region. To accomplish that, Bank of America is investing in communities that have historically been overlooked by economic expansion. Our partnerships with educational institutions are addressing the need for job training and reskilling in diverse communities. Our investments in affordable housing and homeownership are making LA a more livable and connected place for thousands of Angelenos. Our support of healthcare institutions is addressing our region’s disparities by providing worker training, healthcare education, and personal protective equipment. Given the fact that LA is home for more than 6,000 of our employees, our success must be shared since the futures of our communities, customers and employees are interconnected.
A real chance at healthcare careers
In the predominantly Hispanic-Latino Boyle Heights neighborhood of East L.A., Adventist Health White Memorial embraces a mission that goes far beyond tending to the physical health of the community. Based in an area where nearly half of adults haven’t graduated from high school, Adventist Health White Memorial is also committed to creating a pathway toward economic opportunity, giving young people from the area hands-on hospital experience — and a glimpse of a possible future.
Fighting Wildfires and the Coronavirus
For the past 30 years, Firefighter Safety has provided local fire houses and firefighters across Southern California with critical safety equipment. With the coronavirus and subsequent stay-at-home orders, owners Carol and Jack Evans found themselves facing dual challenges—not only was their livelihood threatened, but closing would also mean cutting off many of the boots, helmets, fireproof clothing and other essential supplies firefighters needed to serve those same communities fighting the pandemic.
