DALLAS-FT. WORTH \u2013 Bank of America today announced more than $1.3 million in grants to 43 North Texas nonprofits to help drive economic opportunity for individuals and families. Grants focus on workforce development and education to help individuals chart a path to employment and better economic futures, as well as basic needs fundamental to building life-long stability. Specifically, funding will support programs focused on workforce development, food insecurity, affordable housing, and reliable transportation.<\/p>\n

This funding comes at a dire time for the metroplex. According to the U.S. Census, no metro area in the country grew more last year than Dallas-Ft. Worth, adding almost 100,000 new residents. This growth is increasing demand on education, housing, and other resources, decreasing access and affordability.<\/p>\n

With access to immediate and basic needs, such as food, shelter, health resources and housing, individual and families are better positioned to build and maintain a path toward stability and economic opportunity. Recognizing this impact, the bank is directing funding to organizations providing critical services and resources that are fostering a diverse workforce and supporting individuals and families to succeed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis recent philanthropic investment in Dallas-Ft. Worth nonprofits is just one way Bank of America deploys capital locally to help remove barriers to economic success and build a more sustainable community,\u201d said Mike Pavell, President, Bank of America Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

Sacher Dawson, Executive Director of HOPE Farm said \u201cBank of America continues their long tradition of supporting our mission and leading the way in making a difference in Fort Worth. The funding has an obvious effect but the support from a brand as well-known, and trusted, as Bank of America also helps us build our brand and spread our message so we can continue to change lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Employment is a key driver of economic mobility in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex. That’s why the bank is focused on building pathways to employment by supporting a range of workforce development and educational opportunities that will help vulnerable individuals and families stabilize and advance.<\/p>\n

These grants build on the $25 million Bank of America provided to organizations in North Texas since 2017. These grants are part of the company\u2019s commitment to responsible growth as it works to improve the financial lives of individuals, families, and entire communities. Philanthropic and volunteer investments continue to play a key role in this effort to build thriving communities.<\/p>\n

Beyond local grant funding, Bank of America announced an expanded $1.25 billion, five-year commitment to help advance racial equality and economic opportunity across the country last year. The commitment, which further accelerates work already underway, supports investments that create opportunity for people and communities of color in the areas of health and healthcare, jobs and reskilling, support for small businesses, and affordable housing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
