Sponsorship Opportunity
Partnering with our Community
Request for Sponsorship and Donations
We’re committed to being more than just a bank: we’re a trusted neighbor and active community partner. We’re proud to support local organizations in Arlington, Belmont, Lexington, Newton, Waltham, and Watertown through sponsorships and charitable donations that strengthen the places we all call home.
Our giving focuses on initiatives that:
- Promote affordable housing
- Support children, families, veterans, and individuals with special needs
- Serve low- to moderate-income communities
- Enrich lives through the arts
In the past year alone, we proudly donated over $350,000 to nearly 400 local organizations, including Arlington Children’s Theatre, All Newton Music School, Belmont S.P.O.R.T., the Boys & Girls Clubs of Watertown and Waltham, Watertown Community Foundation, and many others.
