Bank of America has continuously expanded its presence in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill to meet the growing needs of North Carolina’s innovation-focused Research Triangle. To ensure local economic opportunity is extended to all of our neighbors, we have partnered with public and private sector institutions to provide financial literacy, skills development, and job placement programs to those from low-income communities.
To support the region’s underserved entrepreneurs, we offer mentorship and access to funding to Black, Hispanic and women-owned small businesses — leading to additional growth and job creation within our local economy. In addition, we have helped develop inclusive spaces in our neighborhoods and have proudly invested in the area’s arts and STEM initiatives — including an effort to bring dinosaur fossils to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
Unfulfilled in her successful career at a prestigious law firm, Anh LyJordan changed paths and founded Raleigh nonprofit that aims to build a supportive community in for first-gen college grads. Her career as a lawyer hadn’t prepared her for entrepreneurship, however, so in 2020 she enrolled in the Bank of America Institute for Women’s Entrepreneurship at Cornell.
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.
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.
