Bank of America supports Civic Works, Caroline Center with financial surprise

BALTIMORE —

Bank of America is surprising local organizations with big checks. The financial institution hopes to provide funding and leadership training to nonprofits while building up underserved neighborhoods.

They didn’t just award one group in Baltimore, but two different local nonprofits.

Bank of America made a second stop at Civic Works. Civic Works is Baltimore’s Urban Service Corps and AmeriCorps program with a mission to strengthen the community through job training and volunteerism.

“It will enable us to get technical assistance for all different parts of Civic Works, expand our capacity and provide more training and service opportunities for folks in the communities,” said Dana Stein, executive director of Civic Works.

Civic Works just celebrated its 1,000th graduate of the Center for Sustainable Careers in October.
