Mission
The mission of the Foundation is to reinforce, encourage, and support the Bank’s ongoing commitment to the well-being of the communities it serves. The Foundation will allocate its resources specifically for the advantage of the community at large.
Geographic Focus
The Jewett City Savings Bank Foundation’s financial grants and monetary gifts support qualifying non-profit organizations whose work benefits the population of those communities in which the Bank has a major presence.
Grant Making
Directors of the Jewett City Savings Bank Foundation evaluate grant requests, review proposals, and make funding decisions. The amount of grants to qualified non-profit organizations is determined by demonstrated needs and existing resources.
