Bank of America Awards $560,000 into Inland Empire Nonprofits

Bank of America recently announced its awarding $560,000 in grants to 32 Inland Empire nonprofits to help drive economic opportunity for individuals and families.

The grants from Bank of America will help fund its Returning Adult Action Network Team which provides education and workforce opportunities for disadvantaged adults. Bank of America is focused on building pathways to careers by supporting a range of workforce development and educational opportunities to help vulnerable individuals and families stabilize and advance economically.

“Our goal is for Riverside and San Bernardino counties to become a recognized leader for developing a well-educated workforce, thriving communities and vibrant economy,” said Carlos Ayala, President and CEO, Growing Inland Achievement. “Critical support from partners like Bank of America help us scale our programs and pursue our goal of providing reliable career pathways for adults.”

These grants are the initial round of dollars directed to local nonprofits this year, with more to come throughout the year. Last year alone, Bank of America awarded $1.6 million in grants to 70 local nonprofits. Philanthropic investments and employee volunteerism continue to play a key role in this effort to build thriving communities.
