Program and Project Access

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–BofI Federal Bank, the nationwide bank subsidiary of BofI Holding, Inc.
(NASDAQ: BOFI), continued
its support of financial education in its local communities. Employees
volunteered their time to promote financial literacy to children and
adults in San Diego through partnerships with local nonprofits Project
Access and Junior Achievement of San Diego County.

BofI Federal Bank has adopted their local Project Access Family Resource
Center to support educational and employment resources Project Access
Family Resource Center provides to over 2,000 people in the downtown San
Diego community. The bank’s donation will help fund programs that
include resume writing classes, mock interviews, computer skills classes

family and thank them for making a significant impact on the residents’
lives with both financial and volunteer support,” said Project Access

at Junior Achievement of San Diego County’s McGrath Family JA BizTown

each year as they discover how to start and earn a profit in one of the
