Offering the community
more ways to go
We're always looking for ways to support people's choices in the communities we serve. That's why Bank of America is adding charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) to over 90 financial centers nationwide. For our customers who are interested, we have financing for EVs and charging accessories. And we're also supporting the choices our teammates make with employee rebates on EVs.
Learn more about our commitmentLet’s build something together
Here in New Hampshire, we've continued to provide consistent support for nonprofits and delivered even more during the health crisis. We helped distribute millions of masks, hand sanitizers, and gloves while keeping most of our financial centers open. As part of Bank of America’s broader jobs initiative, we're funding programs in our minority communities that help break the cycle of poverty by providing access to career pipelines in banking and teaching. Other programs support immigrants by offering job-skills resources, help with resume building, and teaching English as a second language. Alongside private sector and nonprofit partners, we've identified and supplied in-need K-12 students with 500 computers—loaded with software—and continue to expand the reach. We’re also funding programs that help teachers get accredited at the college level so they can offer classes that enable high school students to earn credits toward higher education.
Providing opportunity for Manchester business owners
The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, one of the first Community Development Financial Institutions in the nation, helps drive economic mobility and strengthen their community by providing lending and technical assistance to businesses owned by people of color. In partnership with the Manchester NAACP, the Community Loan Fund launched the Community-Driven Economic Empowerment pilot program to bring people of color together as a community to create a more resilient local economy in which more of their businesses thrive.
Lowering the cost of higher education
With Running Start, an innovative partnership between local high schools and the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), students who thought a college education would be too expensive now have a means to achieve their ambitions. Courses taught by high school teachers with college-level teaching credentials are provided at a fraction of the cost of traditional college courses—and some are even free.
