Let’s build something together
Here in New Hampshire, we have continued to provide consistent support for nonprofits, expanding access to programs and eliminating disparities in healthcare throughout the Granite State. As part of Bank of America’s broader jobs initiative, we are funding programs and underserved communities that help break the cycle of joblessness by providing access to career pipelines in banking and teaching. Other programs promote job-skills resources, resume- building assistance, and teaching English as a second language. We are also funding programs that help teachers get accredited at the college level so they can offer classes that enable high school students to earn credits toward higher education.
Providing opportunity for Manchester business owners
The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, one of the first Community Development Financial Institutions in the nation, helps drive economic mobility and strengthen their community by providing lending and technical assistance to businesses owned by people of color. In partnership with the Manchester NAACP, the Community Loan Fund launched the Community-Driven Economic Empowerment pilot program to bring people of color together as a community to create a more resilient local economy in which more of their businesses thrive.
Supporting economic opportunity for diverse people & communities
At Bank of America, we have a long-standing commitment to support economic opportunity for diverse people and 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 continue to focus on working collaboratively across sectors to advance opportunities that will create real impact in the lives of individuals and for the communities we serve, using the past to inform our perspective and understanding as we tackle barriers within our communities.
Creating access to jobs
To help create jobs and fuel economic opportunity, we're partnering with local organizations and other companies to help people get the skills they need and build a growing pipeline of talent for jobs of the future.
