Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation

The Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation, Inc. remains committed to responding to the human and material needs of our community. Now more than ever the Foundation seeks to assist in improving the quality of life for our neighbors.

The Foundation awarded over $360,000 across two grant cycles in 2020. The first cycle focused on those responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in the areas of crisis intervention, food security, and homelessness/housing security and the second cycle had a funding focus on arts and culture, emergency responders, health and human services, and youth services, across the Bank's service area.

To best serve the needs of our community,starting in 2021, the Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation will host its grant cycle in three phases.

All three phases of the 2021 Grant Cycle will consider applications from local nonprofit and government agencies in support of the following focus areas:

Arts & Culture | Community Development | Education & Youth Services | Health & Human Services | Public Safety

Applications from religious organizations will be considered for grant purposes which support programming that assists in meeting the needs of the community and/or falls under the scope of the above priority areas.

All three phases of our grant application cycles are currently closed.

A Catalyst for Continuous Growth in Our Local Community

The Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation was created in 1997 to distribute funds annually to local religious, charitable, health, public safety, arts, and educational programs. As a Connecticut community bank who has served as a valuable resource and responsible neighbor for over 140 years, Thomaston Savings Bank is serious about giving back to our community.

Each year, the Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation, Inc. reconfirms its financial commitment to the people within our community and are proud of our $8.6 million charitable foundation.

The funds are to benefit the citizens of the Thomaston Savings Bank assessment area. The Bank’s establishment of this foundation ensures the community that local charitable needs can be continually met well into the future.

The Bank has always been a cornerstone in fulfilling the financial needs of our community. Through the dedication and charitable nature of our Bank and its Directors, Corporators, Officers, and employees we have made a difference in our community, with our volunteerism, donation of time, talents, and energy.

Now, more than ever, we look forward to our continuous charitable contributions, which will have a positive effect on hundreds of people's lives in our local communities.

This foundation could not have been established if it were not for loyal Thomaston Savings Bank customers that have facilitated the Bank as a leader in the community. We believe this foundation will grow substantially acknowledging our true spirit of giving back to the community we serve.
