The Bank of American Neighbourhood Excellence Initiative is seeking nominations 
for people and organisations in Greater London who are dedicated to “creating vibrant
neighbourhoods”.
The Bank of America Foundation is offering awards in two categories.
Its Neighbourhood Builders programme will provide £110,000 in core operating support
and leadership training over two years to two charitable organisations working to
promote vibrant communities.

The Local Heroes programme recognises five ‘heroes’ each year whose achievements
and leadership on local issues contributes significantly to neighbourhood vitality.
Recipients will receive £3,000 to give to an eligible charity of their choice.

The awards are open to organisations and individuals in Greater London, the Bank’s
only international market outside the USA where its foundation operates.
