Mark Munn | President, Bank of America Lowcountry
The Lowcountry 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 the Lowcountry
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 the Lowcountry recently presented Lowcountry Food Bank 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
Meeting the needs of underserved communities in Charleston and Hilton Head means taking an all-encompassing approach. To make a real difference, we're providing grants in key areas to address education, housing, health and employment needs. We’re concentrating on workforce development, particularly for youth programs in predominantly Black/African-American areas. Other grants are helping nonprofits scale up work for entrepreneurs and help minority-owned businesses as they deal with day-to-day challenges, on top of those spurred by the pandemic. Exciting initiatives are in the works to provide summer youth employment and apprenticeships for our Title 1 students by giving them meaningful, paid employment and a chance at a long-term career with scalable income.
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.
