The Mascoma Bank's mission is deeply rooted in serving the community by not only offering a vast array of financial services and fulfilling the credit requirements of their clientele but also by contributing to economic growth through employment. Established in 1988 with an initial fund of $1,000,000, the Mascoma Bank Foundation embodies this commitment by providing an "ongoing dividend" back to the communities that have fueled Mascoma Bank's success, with over $6 million in grants awarded to local not-for-profit groups to date.
