Gerri Moll | President, Bank of America Southwest Florida
Southwest Florida 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 Southwest Florida
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 Southwest Florida recently presented Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida 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
Southwest Florida continues to be a wonderful place for tourism and retirement, but we also have our fair share of challenges. We're tackling them head-on by partnering with nonprofits, corporations and colleges to create career pathways leading to a skilled and sustainable workforce pipeline for our low-income population. We're part of a coalition that's connecting an untapped workforce, including high school students, with the education and training to fill in-demand jobs in fields like healthcare, construction, electric, plumbing and more. We also fund a fantastic nonprofit initiative that provides free dental care to patients with no insurance. And we're addressing food insecurities by supporting programs that provide hot meals and snacks to school-age children.
A Southwest Florida partnership invests in locals
Recognizing the gap between the number of local jobs that require post-high school certificates or degrees and the number of residents with those credentials, FutureMakers Coalition in Southwest Florida provides reskilling, training and career development resources to those who need it. The project is graduating sought-after, skilled workers suited for high-demand positions—and helping remove financial barriers that might prevent participants from completing their programs.
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.
