BANK OF AMERICA

Bank of America is one of the four largest banks in the United States based out of North Carolina.

Our research has revealed that Bank of America funds liberal advocacy in a major way on every issue that we score. From corporate support for the Center for American Progress (CAP) to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), this corporation engages in funding dozens of liberal organizations. For example, Bank of America has given over one million dollars to La Raza and to the National Urban League (NUL). La Raza is an organization that advocates for sanctuary cities and NUL is a group that supports various liberal policies such as same-sex marriage and a repeal of “Stand Your Ground” laws. Bank of America is also a member of many business coalitions that are working to undermine religious liberty within the United States. Please take a look at our research to understand the type of corporate advocacy the bank is funding.
