Another boost in the fight against hunger in Salt Lake City
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 Salt Lake City recently presented Utah Food Bank with a check for $25,000. We're proud to be able to help our community as we work together to move forward.

Let’s build something together
We’re supporting our many partners here in Salt Lake City who are helping people—particularly our children and those in underserved communities—face unprecedented challenges. That means providing the resources needed to address the many demands being placed on both our physical and mental healthcare systems. We’re continuing to focus on helping those who are most vulnerable with housing assistance and employment services. For our Latino/Hispanic and other communities in need, we’re empowering entrepreneurs so they can succeed and build wealth. Plus, we’re working with educators in the areas of financial literacy and skills training to better prepare students for in-demand career paths.
Start-up capital for Black women
New Pattern Utah, a grant and mentorship program, is cultivating a largely overlooked and underfunded group of business owners – Black women. Less than half a percent of venture capital funding goes to Black women. Yet Black women are founding businesses at more than twice the rate as all women entrepreneurs. The goal of New Pattern Utah is to improve those odds with direct access to capital and ongoing support, including seed funding, six months of consultations with mentors and coaches, and access to resources that can help Black women grow their businesses.
Paying it forward
When Gladys Gonzalez launched her newspaper “Mundo Hispano” in 1997, she received valuable business direction from a local businessman. To honor his legacy, she launched the Suazo Business Center, which provides support for Hispanic-Latino and other minority entrepreneurs in building successful businesses.
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.
