Beacon Bank Invests $2.6 Million in Local Nonprofits in 2025

PITTSFIELD — Beacon Bank and the bank’s foundation invested more than $2.6 million in its communities in 2025 through grants to more than 650 nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

“When we support our communities close to home, the impact is personal,” said James Morris IV, president of the bank’s Berkshire & Capital Region. “Our charitable giving reflects our belief that lasting change starts locally, where it can make the greatest difference.”

Beacon Bank invests in the success and vibrancy of its local communities by supporting programs and organizations that focus on one of three areas: neighborhood revitalization and preservation, education, and critical services.

“We believe thriving communities are built through collaboration and care,” said Lori Kiely, director of the bank’s foundation and charitable giving. “Supporting local nonprofits is important to us because it helps expand opportunity, strengthen connections, and create lasting, positive change in the communities that Beacon Bank serves.”
