PHILANTHROPY

As a 125-year-old bank and a Certified B Corp, Mascoma Bank is different by design. We use business as a force for good to help communities, businesses, and people flourish. Every year, we earmark a portion of our funds for philanthropy and directly support hundreds of initiatives from our neighbors to make our communities better places to live. In 1988, we established the Mascoma Bank Foundation to give back even more. In the last five years, Mascoma Bank and the Mascoma Bank Foundation together have donated more than 11 million dollars to local groups who help improve the lives of our neighbors.

Take a look at some of the projects and organizations we’ve been proud to support.
