For generations, we have believed that a local bank should do more than provide finan- cial services. It should help strengthen the places where its customers, employees, and neighbors live and work. at belief continues to guide the choices we make today, including how we support the nonprofit organizations working every day to improve lives across Maine. at commitment is not abstract. It shapes a very concrete decision each year about how we invest in the communities we serve. Our answer is Community Dividends, through which we provide meaningful support to the organizations doing the work our communities depend on. is year, that sup- port will total approximately $1.5 million, distributed to close to 350 nonprofits across the regions we serve. We think of this less as philanthropy in the traditional sense and more as an extension of who we are. Giving back is one way we live out our purpose as a community bank, year after year. Our employees carry that same spirit into their own lives. ey serve on nonprofit boards, volunteer at food pantries, organize fundraisers and give their time in ways no policy requires of them. We are proud of that, and we believe it is not a coincidence. An institution built around community benefit tends to draw people who already think that way, and their generosity, in turn, strengthens the culture that made it possible. We also recognize that our impact grows when it is joined with others. at is why our support for the United Way of Kennebec Valley's annual cam- paign remains one of our most consistent commitments each fall. Individual gifts matter, but gifts coordinated across a region multiply into something larger: new programs, sustained services and support reaching people who might otherwise go without. To the United Ways of Maine, and to every nonprofit turning generosity into real outcomes across our state: thank you for the work you do, and for giving our mission somewhere meaningful to go. Sincerely, Andrew E. Silsby President & CEO, Kennebec Savings Bank Giving back is one way we live out our purpose as a community bank, year after year.
