Community Matters More 2023

We speak with Gavin Robinson, Community Relations Manager Bangor Savings Bank.

Community Matters More is a program of the Bangor Savings Bank Foundation that directly engages the public in giving grant awards. During the month of February, they are pleased to share that the public’s votes will determine the recipients of over $140,000 to nonprofit organizations in ME and NH. In turn these nonprofits will receive grants ranging anywhere from 1,000 up to 5,000, with winners to be announced in March.

The public can vote for their favorite nonprofit during the month February (between Feb 1 and Feb 28). Any Maine or New Hampshire resident, of any age, can vote on the online ballot, which can be found by visiting www.bangor.com/cmm
