By partnering with nonprofits and other organizations, Bank of America stepped up to support Tulsa on every level, from racial justice to reskilling and fighting hunger. We’re a major contributor to a planned history center that tells the important story of the original “Black Wall Street” and the 1921 Tulsa race massacre. And with the third-largest Native American population in the country, we’re contributing funds to initiatives in the community. Helping people find rewarding work is a key focus, especially in communities of color, and we support a range of programs, including a summer youth employment plan and a barista training initiative. To help improve health outcomes, we partner with nonprofits to feed over 500 families a week, support mental health initiatives and ensure schools and nonprofits get the PPE they need.
Teaching the technical skills employers seek
Connecting local employers in need of a skilled workforce and low-income residents in search of a career, Tulsa Community WorkAdvance (TCW) operates a “dual-customer” model. TCW provides job seekers with free technical training and career counseling, and Tulsa businesses benefit from a larger pool of qualified job applicants.

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.
