Tony Shinn | President, Bank of America Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City 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 Oklahoma City
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 Oklahoma City recently presented Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma 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
In Oklahoma City, delivering Bank of America’s expertise has always been our priority, but notably now in times like nothing we’ve ever experienced. Our commitment to be a thought leader and convener of support through local public, private and nonprofit organizations has helped our community work through these challenging times collectively. And, through the bank’s retail and business lending capabilities, we continue to provide guidance and support along with needed capital. Notably, our support of workforce and job skills development in diverse communities continues to build the pipeline of talent for our community, notably in the education field to help improve our education system, a foundation of our market.
Critical support for teachers
Through the Foundation for Oklahoma City Public Schools, many bilingual paraprofessionals who already work in the school district are getting the assistance needed to advance professionally and begin new careers as teachers. The Foundation’s pipeline helps recruit and train educators who mirror the diversity of the student population in the district, helping with college tuition and other expenses, and continuing to support teachers throughout their careers.
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.
