During the month of February, Essex Savings Bank customers can support up to three of their favorite charities through the bank’s Community Investment Program. All of the approved nonprofits on the ballot will receive funding from the program, but the amount awarded is proportionately based on the number of votes received. More votes = more funds for your favorite nonprofit.
Please consider voting for Kids’ Scholarship Fund before February 28th by submitting a paper ballot at your local branch office or voting online by logging into your account at:

Kids’ Scholarship Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a thirty-year history of empowering Connecticut children from low-income families to reach their full potential by providing equal access to a high-quality, foundational K-8 education through need-based scholarships that enable families to choose private, parochial, and religious-affiliated schools that best meet the learning needs and abilities of their children.
The Community Investment Program was adopted July 1995 making Essex Savings Bank the first bank in the State of Connecticut to share profits in this fashion with the communities it serves. Essex Savings Bank donates up to 10% of its after tax net income to nonprofit organizations and community development projects within the Bank’s core marketing area. Special consideration may be given to organizations whose programs or events help benefit and assist low and moderate income families and individuals.
