The Bank is committed to the support of organizations and activities that advance community development and improve the quality of life in our Maine communities. Our corporate charitable giving has a focus in the following areas:
Education
- Initiatives that raise student aspirations at the primary, secondary, and post-secondary levels.
- Programs that transfer knowledge in specific skill sets such as public speaking and economics.
- Initiatives that support education through dissemination of information.
Social and Civic Services
- Activities directed at improving quality of life in the communities we serve.
Culture and Arts
- Initiatives supporting creative arts that educate and entertain while providing a forum for local talent. Activities that enhance the role of art organizations as economic enterprises.
Health and Wellness
- Unduplicated programs essential to the underlying medical care of a community.
- Initiatives focusing on physical and mental wellness for people of all ages.
A United Way Supporter
- Bangor Savings Bank is a long-term supporter and corporate contributor to United Way programs in Maine. The Bank also recognizes the importance of setting a positive example for Maine-based companies by supporting local rather than national charities with both corporate contributions and service commitments from its employees.
- In 2011, Bangor Savings Bank employees contributed over $77,000 to United Ways state-wide through an all-employee campaign in the fall. The Bank’s corporate contribution to United Ways totaled $65,250 for the 2011 campaign.
