Another boost in the fight against hunger in Greater Philadelphia
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 Greater Philadelphia recently presented Philabundance and Food Bank of South Jersey with checks totaling $125,000. We're proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.

Let’s build something together
As President of Bank of America Greater Philadelphia, I get to work with extraordinary leaders as we set our strategy to address social inequality and economic opportunities in communities throughout the five counties and South Jersey. I oversee the bank’s impactful work connecting individuals, families, and businesses to resources that make their financial lives better from Bucks County to Delaware County to the Jersey Shore. I’m also charged with helping to strengthen economic opportunity and build strong communities through social responsibility efforts, which as we know are absolutely essential to the Philadelphia region at this time. These initiatives, like supporting workforce development and education efforts such as 1Philadelphia, and supporting small businesses with organizations like The Enterprise Center, allow us to all come together as neighbors toward a better Greater Philadelphia.
How to help young people find tech jobs — and keep them
The instability that often accompanies poverty can make it hard to hold a job, earn a promotion and pursue educational opportunities. That insight has led Hopeworks N Camden, a southern N.J. nonprofit, to develop a life-skills curriculum that prepares 18 to 24 year olds for technology careers — as well as all facets of success. Its holistic approach combines coaching, counseling, and the option to stay in a residential center. Nine out of ten alumni from the past year are still working. Bank of America funding supports Hopeworks’ award-winning Recode Your Future tech skills program.
Caring for domestic violence survivors during COVID
Agencies like Women Against Abuse (WAA), Greater Philadelphia’s leading domestic violence prevention and service agency, are dedicated to those in need during the pandemic. To keep maintaining their safe havens and services, they have been creative and resourceful to continue providing vital services to survivors.
