Bank of America donates $250K to Red Cross
Bank of America announced it is providing $250,000 to the American Red Cross to help provide immediate relief across the Bahamas and to Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. In addition, the bank offers a matching gift program that enables employees to double their contributions to nonprofits and has lowered the minimum amount eligible for a matching gift to $1 for disaster relief in order to increase the impact of every employee donation. The bank also provides updates to employees about organizations assisting in disaster relief and will communicate any future volunteer opportunities that may arise.
“We recognize the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian,” said Andrew Plepler, Bank of America’s global head of environmental, social and governance. “It will take the collective effort of the public, private and nonprofit sectors to address the enormity of this challenge.”
