Our funding partnerships with cultural institutions around the world strengthen both the non-profits arts and
the communities that are enriched by them.
Foundation Grants
We provide millions of dollars in grants, large and small, delivering a wide range
of support for the arts, from education and access programs at the local level to
major investments that help institutions expand their services and revitalize their
communities.
Bank of America is one of the largest corporate philanthropists in the world. In
2009, we initiated a new ten-year, $2 billion charitable giving goal, across a
number of categories including the arts. This goal complements our new ten-year,
$1.5 trillion community development lending and investing goal that also initiated
in the same year. Our philosophy is that healthy communities are built on a strong
foundation of quality jobs, financial services, education, housing, social support,
and cultural enrichment.

Sponsorships
Bank of America sponsors national programs and institutions, as well as local
events that open doors to enriching experiences to people across the globe.
We provide extensive support in the form of sponsorships, underwriting
exhibitions, programs and performances that require private funding to make
them a reality. This support extends real benefits to our communities— globally
and locally— while helping our company build a strong position in the
marketplace. Our Sponsorships emphasize shared cultural experiences by
supporting exhibitions and performances as they travel to numerous markets as
well as exhibitions that explore other cultures. These include US-based
organizations that travel the world as cultural ambassadors, including the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and the Bridge
Project, a partnership between the Old Vic in London and BAM (Brooklyn
Academy of Music) in New York City.
