more ways to go
We're always looking for ways to support people's choices in the communities we serve. That's why Bank of America is adding charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) to over 90 financial centers nationwide. For our customers who are interested, we have financing for EVs and charging accessories. And we're also supporting the choices our teammates make with employee rebates on EVs.
Learn more about our commitmentLet’s build something together
We’re supporting our many partners here in Utah who are helping people—particularly our children and those in underserved communities—face unprecedented challenges. That means providing the resources needed to address the many demands being placed on both our physical and mental healthcare systems. We’re continuing to focus on helping those who are most vulnerable with housing assistance and employment services. For our Latino/Hispanic and other communities in need, we’re empowering entrepreneurs so they can succeed and build wealth. Plus, we’re working with educators in the areas of financial literacy and skills training to better prepare students for in-demand career paths.
Start-up capital for Black women
New Pattern Utah, a grant and mentorship program, is cultivating a largely overlooked and underfunded group of business owners – Black women. Less than half a percent of venture capital funding goes to Black women. Yet Black women are founding businesses at more than twice the rate as all women entrepreneurs. The goal of New Pattern Utah is to improve those odds with direct access to capital and ongoing support, including seed funding, six months of consultations with mentors and coaches, and access to resources that can help Black women grow their businesses.
Paying it forward
When Gladys Gonzalez launched her newspaper “Mundo Hispano” in 1997, she received valuable business direction from a local businessman. To honor his legacy, she launched the Suazo Business Center, which provides support for Hispanic-Latino and other minority entrepreneurs in building successful businesses.
