Seattle is a socially conscious city, and that commitment is at the heart of everything we do. When the pandemic struck, we immediately mobilized support for those most impacted. Initiatives included working with affordable housing partners to address two pressing challenges—combating food insecurity among hard-hit local residents, and supporting small businesses. The result was a program that delivered food prepared by local restaurants to those in need. We also funded groups that provide childcare, giving flexibility to essential workers. For the future, we’re focused on improving access to great jobs. This includes helping students of color overcome the barriers they often face in completing their studies. Above all, we want to use our resources to give everyone a voice, helping ensure that all community leaders have a place at the table to share their insights.

Supporting economic opportunity for diverse people & communities
At Bank of America, we have a long-standing commitment to support economic opportunity for diverse people and 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 continue to focus on working collaboratively across sectors to advance opportunities that will create real impact in the lives of individuals and for the communities we serve, using the past to inform our perspective and understanding as we tackle barriers within our communities.
