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:

• 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.

• Activities directed at improving quality of life in the communities we serve.

• 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.
