Andrew Diedrichsen | President, Bank of America Reno
Reno 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 Reno
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 Reno recently presented Food Bank of Northern Nevada 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
Bank of America is proud to serve The Biggest Little City in the World, and we have focused on supporting initiatives that drive workforce development and job creation throughout northern Nevada. To this end, we have partnered with local business leaders, economic development organizations, government agencies and community nonprofits to ensure Reno’s growth benefits all those who live and work here.
That’s why we have supported local academic institutions and nonprofit organizations that provide scholarships and internships to underserved youth and first-generation college students. To empower our small business community, we have offered mentorship and financial literacy training to local entrepreneurs. And to help our neighbors who are most in need, we have sponsored and provided volunteer support to organizations that address access to affordable healthcare, housing and food security across our service areas.
An early start for college prep in Reno, Nevada
The Dean’s Future Scholars (DFS) program at the University of Nevada, Reno has made graduation a reality for many low-income, first-generation college students in the Reno/Sparks community. By providing one-on-one attention, the program has successfully served roughly 1,400 young people since its inception 20 years ago, nine out of 10 of them Black and Latino students. The results have been impressive, with 95% of participants graduating from high school over the past five years. Funding from Bank of America helps support this transformative, pre-college intensive program.
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.
