This is the sixth time teammates received this award, totaling more than $4 billion.

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 the North Bay recently presented Redwood Empire Food Bank with a check for $25,000. We're proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.

Hear from Jason Foster, President of Bank of America North Bay, about our role in keeping North Bay moving forward.
Bank of America works closely with community partners in Marin, Napa and Sonoma counties to advance economic mobility throughout our neighborhoods. We support academic, economic development and nonprofit organizations that provide access to food security, childcare, healthcare and sustainable employment for those from underserved communities.
To foster growth within the North Bay’s small business sector, we offer pathways to funding and financial mentorship to local entrepreneurs. In addition, we have sponsored initiatives that champion the arts and core skills development among our communities’ future leaders.
Since its founding in 1981, the mission of the nonprofit 10,000 Degrees has been to help Bay Area students from low-income backgrounds enroll in and graduate from college. Operating in seven counties, including Marin, Sonoma and most recently Napa, 10,000 Degrees is focused on helping students from low-income families. Through partnerships with more than 20 local high schools in Marin and Sonoma counties, 10,000 Degrees guides high-school seniors and their families through the college selection, application and financial aid process, for both four-year and community colleges.
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.
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.
