Middlesex will distribute subsequent funding over the coming months, as the true impact of the situation unfolds.
“Middlesex understands that the current pandemic is challenging individuals, families and businesses in our community in a variety of ways,” said Mike McAuliffe, president and CEO of Middlesex Savings Bank. “In addition to already working with a number of household and business customers to help navigate through this crisis, we are pledging to support the non-profit organizations who work tirelessly to strengthen our community in difficult times. We sincerely believe that we will all come out stronger on the other side of this situation – in large part due to the important work they carry out.”
The Foundation was established in 2000 to further carry out the philanthropic mission of Middlesex Savings Bank. Since then, the Foundation has provided more than $10 million in grants to local nonprofit organizations, supporting services and programs in a wide variety of fields, including education, public health and welfare, the arts, and community development.
Since the inception of the Foundation, Middlesex Savings Bank has funded the endowment with over $19 million in contributions.
