Community


Mark-Foley

We work in and for the communities we serve.

Sometimes that means financial support in the form of donations and sponsorships for area non-profits. Over the past ten years, The Bank of Bennington has shown its commitment to the people in the towns we serve by donating nearly $650,000 to area non-profits in support of the needy, the arts, children, and education.That support makes our communities stronger and more interesting.


The Bank of Bennington is especially proud of volunteer time that our employees give. We donated more than 3,000 hours last year by helping organizations such as:

  • The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
  • Arlington Baseball
  • Big Brothers & Big Sisters
  • Manchester Rotary Club
  • USBC Youth
  • Habitat for Humanity
  • Bennington Project Independence
  • Lions Club Maple Leaf Half Marathon
  • Triton Swim Team
  • BBA Hockey
  • Manchester Recreation Committee
  • Building Trades Corp

  • Bennington Free Library
  • Bennington Chamber of Commerce

  • Southwest Vermont Health Center
  • Catamount Rotary
  • Northshire Hockey Assn
  • BCIC
