Bank of America recently named Homes of Hope its 2025 Neighborhood Builder.
As a Neighborhood Builder, Homes of Hope will receive a $50,000 grant over two years, leadership training and connections to a peer network of nonprofit organizations. The Greenville-based nonprofit organization builds affordable homes across South Carolina and provides workforce development opportunities for men overcoming addiction.
“The Neighborhood Builders Award strengthens our ability to continue this critical work, and we are grateful for this partnership and the impact it enables in our communities,” said Don Oglesby, president and CEO of Homes of Hope.
Bank of America’s Neighborhood Builder Program aims to address fundamental issues to economic opportunity to help build thriving communities. Seven Upstate South Carolina nonprofits have been selected as Neighborhood Builders since the program’s inception. Bank of America has invested more than $350,000 in philanthropic capital into these organizations.
“Through our Neighborhood Builders program, Homes of Hope will receive flexible funding and comprehensive leadership training to enhance its work as the largest nonprofit developer of single-family affordable housing in South Carolina,” said Stacy Brandon, president of Bank of America Upstate South Carolina.
