Another boost in the fight against hunger in Richmond
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 Richmond recently presented Feed More with a check for $50,000. We're proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.

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.
For minority small businesses in Virginia, a league of their own
The Metropolitan Business League (MBL) uses education, advocacy and access to resources to promote economic prosperity for its fast-growing Richmond small businesses member network, now 850 strong.
An accessible path to home ownership
In Richmond, the Maggie Walker Community Land Trust has found a way to keep homes more affordable for local residents. The organization’s innovative model is making homeownership accessible to low- and middle-income residents who might otherwise be priced out of the area.
The power of the arts
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.
