STEPHANIE LOMIBAO
Philanthropy Director
Bank of America Charitable Foundation
For more than 20 years, Stephanie Lomibao has followed her passion for helping others through her career leading philanthropic initiatives and programs, fundraising, and overseeing employee volunteerism across public, private, and nonprofit sectors in Southern California. Currently, she is director of philanthropy for Bank of America, one of the world’s largest corporate philanthropies, which awarded more than $360 million in grants to nonprofits and charities last year alone.
Lomibao leads a team that manages the largest philanthropic programs of the Bank of America Charitable Foundation from her downtown Los Angeles office. She helps ensure hundreds of millions of dollars annually get deployed to nonprofits on the frontlines of serving the most vulnerable and impoverished communities through programs addressing food insecurity and providing workforce development and job placement opportunities, among others.
Notably, Lomibao helped create the company’s framework around hunger relief, including leading the Give a Meal program with Feeding America, one of the Bank’s most successful cause programs. This effort resulted in more than $20 million donated to a network of more than 200 food banks nationwide, including $1 million to the LA Regional Food Bank. Many of the programs Lomibao has created at the national level had their roots in Los Angeles as programs she led locally, such as food drives at Dodger Stadium, and leadership development programs with the Special Olympics of Southern California for students in urban schools with disabilities. In 2022, Lomibao was promoted to lead the Bank of America Foundation’s Leadership pillar, a role created specifically for her.
