“As a mutual bank, we strive each day to help create a strong quality of life in our communities,” said Michael Rauh, President and CEO of Chelsea Groton Bank. “Through the Foundation, we are able to support organizations that work to lessen homelessness, alleviate hunger, treat mental health, improve economic opportunity, enhance recreational programming, and more. It’s an honor each year to financially assist the organizations that impact so many in our region.”
 
The Foundation accepts grant applications two times per year.  Formed in June 1998, the Foundation has, to date, awarded over $2.3 million in grants to hundreds of organizations located within the Bank’s market area.  The Foundation was given a $5 million endowment from Chelsea Groton Bank in December 2016.
