Webster Bank Corporate Giving

From Webster Bank

We partner to empower and care for our communities by helping community partners activate their work. Webster focuses on consistently awarding grants and sponsorships annually to registered non-profit agencies that serve low- to moderate-income individuals, families, and marginalized communities throughout our footprint, emphasizing racial equity and economic inclusion.

Type of Support

Overview

The grant program is committed to supporting underserved communities by focusing on four main pillars: Workforce Development, Community Development, Financial Empowerment, and Human Services and Basic Needs. It aims to promote job creation, support affordable housing initiatives, foster financial literacy, and address food insecurity through larger regional food banks. The program specifically funds registered nonprofit agencies whose primary mission aligns with these pillars, thereby strengthening the communities Webster serves with a dedicated effort toward economic inclusion and racial equity.
