Monson Savings Bank Announces $25,000 in Donations as 2025 Community Giving Initiative Votes are Tallied
The people have voted, and the results are in! In late 2024, Monson Savings Bank asked our local community members to cast votes for their local non-profit of choice. Monson Savings Bank is now announcing the 2025 Monson Savings Bank Community Giving Initiative recipients.
This was the fifteenth year Monson Savings Bank ran its Community Giving Initiative poll. The public’s excitement to cast their vote has grown throughout the years. This year, more than 4,100 people submitted a vote – a record-breaking response from the community!
Monson Savings Bank's Community Giving Initiative exemplifies the power of collaboration, uniting community members to collectively decide which local organizations receive support. By inviting public votes, the bank ensures that its charitable contributions reflect the community's values and priorities, fostering a shared commitment to enhancing the well-being of the neighborhoods it serves.
“The community’s enthusiasm for our annual Community Giving Initiative is always so moving!” beamed Michael Rouette, EVP and Chief Operating Officer of Monson Savings Bank. “As a bank operated right here in Western Massachusetts, Monson Savings Bank wants to support the area’s local residents, businesses, and non-profits. Our Community Giving Initiative offers a unique opportunity for our community members to have their voice heard and decide the non-profits they would like us to support.”
