Monson Savings Bank Announces Start of Annual Community Giving Initiative

MONSON — Monson Savings Bank is inviting the public to submit their votes for the bank’s 2025 Community Giving Initiative.

For more than a decade, Monson Savings Bank has been seeking the help of community members to plan the bank’s community-giving activities. Each year, the bank encourages the public to vote for the nonprofit charitable organizations they would like the bank to support during the coming year. Everyone is welcome to cast their vote online at www.monsonsavings.bank/cgi.

Voters may provide the name of one nonprofit organization they would like Monson Savings to donate to in 2025. The only requirements are that the organizations be designated a nonprofit and that the organizations provide services within the bank’s geography. The bank allows each person to vote once. Monson Savings then pledges to support the 10 organizations that receive the highest number of votes. The top 10 vote recipients will be announced by mid-January 2025.

Voting is now open and ends at 3 p.m. on Dec. 31. Visitors to the voting page can also view a compiled list of organizations that the bank has supported in years past, as well as previously nominated organizations.

“Monson Savings Bank supports thousands of Western Massachusetts residents each year through our community outreach efforts. By hosting our Community Giving Initiative and gathering input from locals, we make sure that the voice of the community is heard and that the charitable organizations that are important to our community members will be supported by us in the coming year,” said Dan Moriarty, president and CEO of Monson Savings Bank. “This is a tradition that we look forward to each year. We are extremely thankful for the public’s support of this initiative.”
