Community Investment Program
When You Do Business With Kennebunk Savings, You Are Also
Investing In Your Community.
At Kennebunk Savings our business is about helping our neighbors fulfill their dreams and achieve financial security. We do that by offering innovative financial solutions and developing lasting relationships. Yet our business is also about building community – making our community a better place to live, work and do business.
We believe it is our responsibility to share our success and to be an exemplary corporate citizen. Each year through the Community Investment Program of Kennebunk Savings Bank and the Kennebunk Savings Bank Foundation, we pledge 10% of our annual earnings to support non-profit and charitable efforts that create a better tomorrow for York County. Since the program's
introduction in 1994, we’ve invested over $5 million in grants to
hundreds of local organizations.
