Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofits (local, regional, or national) whose program or operating needs map to the foundation's community, health, education, housing and workforce priorities, and that can apply through the foundation's online portal.
Good Fit
- • Asks for program or operating support aligned with the foundation's published funding priorities.
- • Capacity to submit via the CyberGrants/online portal and meet posted RFP deadlines.
- • Serves communities in states where Bank of America has a presence or has evidence of measurable community impact.
- • Organizational scale matching request size (from small neighborhood grants to multi‑million partnerships).
- • Willingness to engage in partnership conversations for larger initiatives.
Geography
Across 2022–2023 the foundation funded recipients in dozens of states with a national footprint; the 2024 filing is concentrated in North Carolina but is an outlier in the available multi‑year record.
Recipient Variety
In 2022–2023 the foundation supported tens of thousands of separate grants to over 22,000 distinct recipients across multiple sectors, indicating a very broad recipient set despite a single recorded recipient in 2024.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes application guidance, a public portal and deadlines, and 2023 data show a high share of new grantees (about 61%), all of which support strong plausibility that unfamiliar applicants can access funding; the 2024 single‑grant record limits direct year‑to‑year comparison but does not overturn prior evidence of openness.
