New giving campaign impacts grant program
THOMASTON — The Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation has established a new giving campaign, Act to Impact Employee Giving Grants. This initiative was developed to allow Bank employees to give back to the communities the bank serves by deciding how to distribute $30,000 in Foundation grants. The employees were divided into 20 teams giving each team the opportunity to award a $1,500 onetime grant to an area non-profit. Grants were presented to the organizations over the month of December and early January.
“Our employees demonstrate their passion for supporting area non-profits with the time and money they donate year over year. We are proud to give our employees an outlet to further support the work of the organizations they feel so strongly about,” said Stephen Lewis, president, Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation, in a statement.
The Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation was created in 1997 to contribute to the betterment of the communities served by Thomaston Savings Bank. Each year, the Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation reconfirms its financial commitment to the community by granting funds to local religious, charitable, health, public safety, arts and educational programs. Honoring a responsibility to help the community reach great heights, Thomaston Savings Bank Foundation has awarded over $6 million since its inception.
