About this Partnership

Partnering at Many Levels

For more than twenty years, Bank of America and The Nature Conservancy have partnered on a wide range of projects. Bank of America and its branches have donated over $3 million to help fund the Conservancy conservation efforts at sites throughout the United States and abroad.

The Bank of America "Conservation Check Program" has generated over $400,000 since 1990. Bank customers help support the Conservancy by purchasing checks that display nature scenes. $0.50 per order is donated to the Conservancy. Currently, there are 22 states participating in this program. These funds will help support critical conservation initiatives.

Bank of America has also contributed $500,000 to The Nature Conservancy’s reforestation efforts as part of a program to donate $1 for each account when customers elect to stop receiving paper statements. Thanks in part to this promotion, now more than 4 million Bank of America customers are receiving electronic statements in place of paper.

Bank of America is a member of The Nature Conservancy's International Leadership Council, one of the world's leading corporate forums focusing on the challenges confronting biodiversity preservation, habitat conservation and natural resource management.
