Economic mobility through Workforce Development and Education

Posted by Bank of America Charitable Foundation on February 6, 2017

Grants: Beginning January 30, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation will accept proposals for grants to support economic mobility for individuals and families through investments in workforce development, education, and basic needs.

We recognize that while conditions have improved over the past several years, there are many individuals facing barriers to economic success, including youth, working families, and the formerly incarcerated. Too many individuals living on the margins are limited by their zip code and unable to create a better life for themselves and their families through good jobs or affordable housing. That’s why we’re focused on building pathways to economic mobility by addressing the issues of workforce development & education, basic needs and community development. We’re committed to advancing a more diverse and inclusive society by expanding opportunities and supporting equitable solutions that will enable low-income communities to grow and prosper. Through our philanthropic efforts and the power of our employee volunteers, we’re working to create thriving economies and a better future for us all.

In 2017, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation will issue two requests for proposals (RFPs) on the priority focus areas of:
