YOUR REAL ODDS

Since 2004, nearly 2,000 U.S. nonprofits have been selected — roughly 100 per year across almost 100 markets.

That suggests roughly one to two winners per market annually, making this competitive but not impossibly selective for strong local nonprofits. The 2026 cycle is now closed; the next window opens Spring 2027.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Check eligibility criteria on the Bank of America site and confirm your nonprofit fits their priority areas — 1–2 hours

  2. Monitor the site for the Spring 2027 application opening and register for the Driving Impact Webinar Series — Ongoing

  3. Complete the online application when the cycle opens — Several hours

WORTH KNOWING

Winners receive not just funding (up to $400,000) but also comprehensive leadership training for two staff members and access to a nationwide peer network — the non-cash components may be as valuable as the grant itself.
