Everyday dedication meets everyday appreciation
We continue to invest in our employees with initiatives like Sharing Success, which awarded 96% of colleagues additional compensation this year, nearly all in stock. This is the sixth time teammates received this award, totaling more than $4 billion. We are committed to being a Great Place to Work for our teammates locally and around the globe including providing leading benefits, minimum wage at $22/hr on track to $25/hr by 2025 and opportunities to build a career with us.

Another boost in the fight against hunger in Tucson
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 Tucson recently presented Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona 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
Building a stronger community in Tucson begins with breaking down barriers that prevent economic mobility for people, especially those in communities of color. Workforce development and building job skills is a foundational need, and Bank of America is taking action to make a difference here. We’re working with our local college and university partners along with other organizations to help reskill and retrain for today’s in-demand jobs and careers. Along with our retail bank presence, our digital banking services are providing the convenience and easy-access needs of our customers and business clients. Through the challenging times we face, we remain committed to building our community.
Preparing students for the new workforce
When fewer than 16% of its majority-minority enrollment was able to complete a degree or certificate within six years, Tucson’s Pima Community College launched PimaFastTrack. This jobs initiative focuses on students of color —a population disproportionately affected by the pandemic-led economic downturn. Aimed at giving students access to careers that pay a family-sustaining wage, PimaFastTrack partners with local employers to identify in-demand jobs. The initiative arranges training and apprenticeships in fields including advanced industrial technology, automotive technology, building and construction technology, cyber security/IT and certification as an emergency medical technician.
Improving healthcare services in Tucson’s most underserved communities
More than fifty years after its founding, El Rio Health, Tucson’s first community health clinic, needed to adapt, and fast, to continue to serve Tucson residents and a greater scale amidst the coronavirus. To help El Rio with new technology and other resources it needs to adapt and continue its community services, we provided the organization with a $50,000 grant, part of our $100 million commitment to support local communities in need.
