2024 Neighborhood Builder Honorees
Celebrating its 20th year, Bank of America’s signature Neighborhood Builders® program continues to be one of the nation’s largest philanthropic investments into nonprofit leadership development, while providing unique multiyear flexible grant funding annually to two high-impact nonprofits in nearly 100 communities nationwide. In Palm Beach County, Bank of America has named Fuller Center as one of its 2024 Neighborhood Builders for it’s work supporting workforce development and economic mobility.
“This year celebrates 19 years of strengthening Palm Beach County nonprofits that provide solutions to local challenges and promote economic advancement,” said Fabiola Brumley, President, Bank of America Palm Beach County. “Providing these nonprofits with flexible funding and comprehensive leadership training helps them address critical needs and create meaningful lasting change in our communities. Countless individuals, families and neighborhoods have felt the profound impact that these 29 Neighborhood Builder nonprofits have had in Palm Beach County since 2005.”
The Fuller Center supports more than 700 families each year. Many live paycheck to paycheck, and Fuller Center helps them access benefits and resources and assists with transportation, jobs, housing and more. This funding will support the Family Empowerment Team, which collaborates with more than 50 partners to provide free services for families including emergency help, referrals, job, food or housing assistance, ESOL classes and support groups and assistance for families with children who have disabilities or special needs.
“On behalf of the Fuller Center, I extend our deepest gratitude to Bank of America for their generous grant. This impactful funding will allow us to further our mission of empowering children and families, providing the resources and support they need to thrive,” said Eric Roby, CEO, Fuller Center. “Together, we are building a stronger community, one child and one family at a time.”
