Our commitment is to invest in individuals and organizations that generate enduring benefits in various communities. We annually allocate at least 10% of our earnings to local charitable causes, contributing over $11 million in grants since 1994, aiming to foster positive community impacts through continued financial support.
The Community Promise Program by Kennebunk Savings aims to bolster and elevate the quality of life across communities by providing direct grants and sponsorships. This program focuses on funding initiatives within five critical areas: Health & Wellness, Community & Economic Advancement, Arts & Culture, Education & Innovation, and Environment & Animal Welfare. Organizations interested in obtaining funding can do so via online applications, banking offices, or through lending officers. Funding decisions are made by the Community Promise Committee, which bases its choices on the potential community impact, support from the private and public sectors, and alignment with the program's goals.
