Community Support from Mascoma Bank Foundation

The Mascoma Bank Foundation provides capital funding to not-for-profit organizations within Mascoma Bank’s market area that will contribute to the long-term benefit of its communities. The Bank serves the Connecticut River Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire from Keene to Lancaster; the I-89 corridor from Burlington to New London; and Portland, Maine.

Typical projects may include facility and infrastructure improvements, new construction, capital campaigns, and capital items outside normal operating budgets. The Foundation is especially interested in requests or projects that:

• Significantly impact the organization’s long-term future, thereby contributing to our long-term commitment to create positive change in our communities.
• Substantially increase the capacity, long-term viability, and resilience of the organization.

Please note the following guidelines:

• Applications will be accepted for donation requests ranging from $5,000-$25,000.
• Projects should have a minimum budget size of $25,000 or more.
• The Foundation does not typically fund religious organizations, policy or advocacy organizations, and large educational or health institutions.
• An organization receiving funds from the Foundation is eligible to submit a new application if at least 24 months have passed since they have received a donation.
