Investing in community so everyone may journey well

A shared commitment to community

Since 1854, Newburyport Bank has been grounded in the communities where we live and work. Being a community bank means more than providing financial services—it means being an active partner, understanding local needs, and investing time, talent, and resources to improve quality of life for our neighbors.

This commitment comes to life through two closely connected efforts: the Bank’s direct community giving and sponsorships, and the work of the Newburyport Bank Charitable Foundation. Together, they allow us to support organizations and initiatives that make a meaningful, lasting impact across our footprint.

How we give back

Newburyport Bank supports community organizations through sponsorships, contributions, and extensive employee-driven volunteerism. Our team donates thousands of hours, along with financial support, to organizations that strengthen our communities and enhance opportunity for all.

Request a donation

Please allow for a two week lead time for your submission to be reviewed. If you have an urgent request or questions within the two week time frame, please email: sponsorships@newburyportbank.com.

The Newburyport Bank Charitable Foundation, founded in 2003 and supported solely by the Bank, carries out this mission through strategic grantmaking. The Foundation focuses on serving low-to-moderate income individuals, families, and vulnerable populations by funding organizations that deliver critical services and resources.
