Driving growth through partnerships
We help expand opportunity, strengthen communities and drive economic and social change. Explore the many areas that our partnerships are serving communities around the world.
Partnering to advance economic mobility
At Bank of America, our goal is to improve financial lives by helping more individuals obtain livable-wage jobs. By partnering with local employers, nonprofits and colleges, we work to reduce employment gaps in communities and create talent pipelines. In 2025 alone, we invested more than $38 million in over 700+ workforce partners, including community colleges and training providers. Because we believe that when people have access to good jobs and employers have the workforce they need to build business, entire communities can thrive.
Amplifying the power of sports
Sports have the power to inspire us, unite us, even strengthen entire communities. Bank of America is proud to partner with iconic sports brands like the U.S Soccer Federation, Masters Tournament, Boston Marathon® and the Chicago Distance Series. Together, we celebrate and support all those driven to achieve, in sports and in life.
Supporting opportunity and achievement with Special Olympics
Our nearly 50-year partnership with Special Olympics is rooted in shared values and continues our longstanding commitment to strengthening local communities and economic opportunities through philanthropic giving, workforce development, and volunteerism through thousands of employees around the globe. Our employees are passionate about supporting Special Olympics athletes and have donated over 10,000 volunteer hours annually to the organization since 2010. Additionally, our Support Services team includes athletes who have competed in Special Olympics games at local, national and global levels.
Making the arts accessible to all
Bank of America champions the arts to inspire and create lasting impact — connecting creativity, communities and economic opportunity. Programs and partnerships like Art in our Communities® and Museums on Us® help make the arts more accessible and the Bank of America Art Conservation Project™ helps to preserve and protect art for generations to come.
Exploring our history with Ken Burns documentaries
Since 2007, we’ve sponsored the work of Ken Burns and Florentine Films, which blend education and art to create in-depth stories that enlighten people around the world. Burns’s critically acclaimed documentaries like Jazz, The Civil War and Baseball explored America’s greatest stories, while his latest film, The American Revolution, examines how the country's founding shook the world.
