Nonprofit grant funding
At Bank of America, we drive responsible growth and help address society’s biggest challenges. One way we do this is by helping to build thriving communities by addressing issues fundamental to economic mobility, including workforce development and education, community development and basic needs. This includes addressing the immediate needs in the communities we serve, while also awarding grants for innovative, longer-term solutions that build economic self-sufficiency.
The Bank of America Charitable Foundation is no longer accepting applications for 2024. Please visit us in the first quarter of 2025 for information about our 2025 funding year. Our eligibility criteria can be found here.
Partnering for promising futures
We form partnerships with nonprofits that are helping advance economic mobility and create more vibrant communities. These collaborations let us use our collective networks and expertise as part of our commitment to help fuel economic and social progress in low- and moderate-income areas. In addition, we offer matching gifts and other incentives to our employees that encourage them to get involved in a better future for us all.
Sponsorships
Through our regional U.S. sponsorships, we support the economic, social and cultural life of the places we live and work. We provide an extensive program of arts and sports sponsorships to help maintain vibrant, healthy communities. This includes underwriting art exhibitions, events and performances that require private funding to make them a reality. Our regional sports sponsorship investments include the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Major League Baseball® and Bank of America™ ROVAL 400.
Employee giving and matching gifts
Bank of America’s employee giving program encourages employees to make an impact in their communities by supporting the causes they care about through donations to eligible organizations. Employees can double their impact with matching gifts, up to $5,000 (U.S.) per person each calendar year, from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. Each year, our employees direct more than $60 million in total to communities via individual giving and matching gifts.
Volunteerism
Each year on average, Bank of America employees and retirees volunteer 2 million hours supporting thousands of organizations around the world, mentoring youth, advancing better money habits for individuals, building affordable housing, and so much more to strengthen communities. The Bank of America Charitable Foundation honors this dedication through volunteer grants, which employees and retirees may earn and direct to eligible organizations, up to $1,000 (U.S.) each calendar year.
