WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Dec. 29, 2025 - PRLog -- Bank of America has named Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County and Community Partners of South Florida as its 2025 Neighborhood Builders® for their work at building career pathways for local teens and reducing housing insecurity by providing access to affordable homes. 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 funding annually to high-impact nonprofits in communities nationwide.

Specifically, both Palm Beach County nonprofits are each awarded a $200,000 grant over two years, comprehensive leadership training for the organization's executive director and an emerging leader, and access to a national network of nonprofit peers.

"These two local nonprofits are crucial to addressing local challenges in Palm Beach County including workforce development and affordable housing," said Fabiola Brumley, president, Bank of America Palm Beach County. "Through flexible funding and comprehensive leadership training, the Neighborhood Builders program helps nonprofits address critical needs and promote economic opportunity for the individuals and families in our communities."
