Summary
Rockland Trust and its affiliated foundations are strong advocates for and supporters of the community organizations that help support the individuals, families, and businesses that comprise the communities we serve. Each year Rockland Trust and its affiliated foundations typically provide over one million dollars in grants and sponsorships to non-profit community organizations. We focus our giving on non-profit organizations located in our service area that provide essential services to low-to-moderate income individuals.

Program grants funds can be requested for operating support or capital projects. Multi-year requests are accepted, but the organization should have received prior support.
