The Bank of America Charitable Foundation recently announced $134,000 in grants to nine nonprofits in metro Atlanta addressing critical needs, such as hunger, shelter and long-term solutions that promote financial wellness through access to benefits and resources.

“We’re committed to supporting our local community and look to make investments that are responding to the greatest needs of the people that live here,” said Geri Thomas, Georgia president, Bank of America. “These grants will assist nonprofits addressing metro Atlanta’s immediate needs while also supporting integrated services that will help people get back on their feet.”

The Bank of America Charitable Foundation’s funding is part of the company’s intensified philanthropic focus on three core issues vital to the economic health of communities: housing, jobs and hunger. Funding opportunities represent an important component of Bank of America’s lending, investing and giving activities to help advance local economies.

Our House was most fortunate to receive a $25,000 Critical Needs grant in FY 2013 to support our programs and services to homeless children and families. We are most grateful for the support of the Bank of America Foundation. This support enables us to provide homeless children with the bright start they deserve while helping their parents to achieve stability and independence.

Thank you, Bank of America Foundation for your continued investment in the lives of children and families throughout metro Atlanta.
