Sponsorships

Cambridge Savings Bank is committed to supporting organizations in the communities we serve, primarily focusing on Human Services, Affordable Housing, Community Development and Civic Initiatives.

TYPE OF SPONSORSHIP DESCRIPTION
Human Services  For organizations that provide basic necessities, including heath care, food, shelter, job training, financial education, small business support and first-time home buyer assistance.
Affordable Housing For programs that preserve low-to-moderate income housing units and projects that create affordable housing communities.
Community Development We collaborate with groups that support economic development, create jobs and revitalize our community to attract new businesses to the area. 
Civic Initiatives Local pride is important, so we partner with associations that sponsor Town Days and other celebrations.

We’ve Gone Paperless!

Cambridge Savings Bank and the Cambridge Savings Charitable Foundation have implemented web-based applications for non-profit organizations to request charitable donations, which include grants, sponsorships, or in-kind donations. The online applications streamline the review process by replacing paper, phone and email requests. All requests must be submitted via the sponsorship or other contributions form through the Apply Now link below or grant application for consideration. If paper, phone or email requests are submitted, we will follow-up to provide the link to the appropriate online application. If you have any questions about the application process, please contact us at communityrelations@cambridgesavings.com for sponsorships or foundationgrants@cambridgesavings.com regarding foundation grants.
