Bay State Community Sponsorships

Giving back to our community.

At Bay State Bank, we believe in fostering vibrant, thriving communities throughout Worcester County. Our sponsorship program is committed to supporting local organizations that contribute to community development, promote arts and culture, empower individuals through financial literacy, and enhance health and human services. While we receive a high volume of requests for support, we carefully evaluate each proposal based on our guidelines below.

Funding decisions are guided by our available resources and how well proposals align with Bay State Bank’s priorities. Applications are reviewed on a quarterly basis, and applicants will receive notification via email regarding the outcome of their requests.

How To Apply

Organizations interested in securing sponsorship from Bay State Bank must complete our online application form. Not- for-profit (501(c)(3)) entities seeking non- sponsored funding should utilize our designated community donations application.

Eligibility

To be eligible for sponsorship, organizations must be:

  • Based in or primarily serve the Worcester County area.
  • A client of Bay State Bank.

Getting Started

Submit a completed online application along with any required documentation and allow at least 45 days for a response before your event or sponsorship deadline to facilitate our review process.

Priorities

Bay State Bank is particularly interested in sponsoring initiatives that:

  • Promote community development and enhance the overall quality of life in our neighborhoods.
  • Foster and support arts and cultural programs that enrich our community’s diverse fabric.
  • Provide financial empowerment activities, such as financial literacy workshops and capability-building initiatives.
  • Enhance health and human services, with a focus on improving well-being and providing resources for those in need.

Limitations

Bay State Bank will consider only one application per year from any single organization. Organizations that have received a charitable contribution or sponsorship from us within the current calendar year are not eligible for additional funding until the following year. This encourages sustained engagement with a diverse array of funding sources.
