BANC Foundation financial literacy
Knowledge is the most powerful tool for advancing financial well-being.
Every financial decision, large or small, makes a difference over time. Knowing what the options are and understanding the impact of each is the key to financial well-being.
We provide educational tools and resources to people of all ages,
We partner with those organizations to help teach the fundamentals to children and help adults understand the more complex concepts of financial management and wealth building.
We do it because we’re about financial empowerment. And where money is concerned, knowledge is power.
Featured Partners
We’re actively engaged with partners who share our goal of advancing financial literacy in our communities.
Banc of California is proud to invest in the communities we serve, as well in organizations like Crete Academy, whose mission is to impact the lives of the next generation of Californians through education and character building.
LEARN MOREBanc of California partners with Junior Achievement® on a multitude of projects to provide a wholesome education in financial literacy. By volunteering at JA, our employees share their personal and professional experiences and skills with students from local communities and help them make the connection between what they are learning in school and what they will need to succeed in work and life.
LEARN MOREOur support for Project Access Resource Center consists of empowering the leading provider of vital services to assist families in our communities through on-site health, education and employment services. Banc of California contributes volunteer time and financial resources to ensure our sponsored resource centers provide the best financial education to the community to break the cycle of poverty and become healthier, further educated and financially stable.
LEARN MOREServing the community means being a part of the economy today and building for the future of tomorrow. By partnering, Banc of California and the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach are committed to this future by providing financial literacy and on-the-job training to local students to help them along the path of financial success.
LEARN MORE“It’s a sad reality for many children that their entire future could be affected by the ZIP code where they grew up. All students at Crete Academy have the opportunity to succeed and thrive, despite their circumstances. One day, the cycle of poverty will end, and these students who were once homeless or living in poverty will be leaders of the world. That’s why we begin talking to our students about the benefits of a college degree when they’re in kindergarten, and we designed a program to get them there.”
