Bank of America was the second largest contributor to the initial capital campaign to build the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. Since then, the company has remained a top corporate partner through annual support of the benefit dinner and corporate membership, and contributes to every major fundraising campaign including the recent emergency Board appeal in response to COVID-19 and The Never Forget Fund. After nearly a decade of service as a 9/11 Memorial & Museum Trustee, former Bank of America Vice Chairman Anne Finucane retired from the Board and strongly recommended Paul to replace her.
