Let’s build something together

We have a long history of making a difference through grants and volunteerism in Richmond. When the health crisis hit, Bank of America met the moment with programs that support our commitment to advancing racial equality, addressing healthcare needs and promoting economic opportunity. We’ve funded a relief effort that’s helped more than 13,000 families, the majority headed by women of color, avoid eviction. We’re also funding a nonprofit that connects children who have experienced traumatic violence with mental health counseling, and we support small businesses through funds and leadership training. To deepen reserves of local tech talent, we’re partnering with schools to help first-generation college students and those from racially diverse communities study STEM subjects, preparing them for college and high-demand careers.

Advancing Racial Equality and Economic Opportunity

The need for real progress on racial and economic inequality in the United States has been accentuated by the impact of the coronavirus on communities of color, and amplified by acts of injustice. We all have a role to play in helping move communities forward – an understanding that forms the foundation of Bank of America’s long-standing commitment to the people and communities it serves. And they’re at the heart of the bank’s $1.25 billion commitment over the next five years to advance racial equality and economic opportunity.
