Community

Creating a positive impact

Community Commitment

Growing, giving, thriving—together.

We aim to build healthier, more resilient, and more welcoming communities throughout our footprint. In support of this goal, we encourage employee volunteerism and provide support to nonprofit organizations whose missions align with our values and community priorities. Through employee volunteering and board service, our teams made a meaningful impact in 2025, contributing a total of 9,672 volunteer hours.

We give back by:

Donating to community nonprofits and organizations

Giving back by volunteering our time and talent

Helping customers thrive through better banking and financial wellness

Community Volunteerism

Community Well-Being Day

In 2025, we launched our first Community Well-Being Day. We closed operations for one business afternoon to enable employees to volunteer with local nonprofits across Maine and New Hampshire. Employees supported organizations focused on housing, basic needs, environmental sustainability, youth development, and community services, contributing more than 2,400 volunteer hours in a single afternoon at 65 nonprofits. Over 600 of those hours qualified as Community Development Service hours under the CRA, supporting low- and moderate-income individuals and essential community initiatives.

Hope@Home

For every new home that we finance, $100 is donated in the homeowner’s name to a local homeless shelter. This amount increased to $150 in 2025 to mark our 150th anniversary. Since launching in 2015, the program has provided more than $865,000 in unrestricted funding to more than 50 shelters and earned an honorable mention in the ABA Foundation Community Commitment Award in 2025.

Leaders & Luminaries Awards

Leaders & Luminaries

This program recognizes nonprofit board members who demonstrate exceptional leadership and governance. Through The Bank of Maine Charitable Foundation, $25,000 is donated annually in honor of these leaders. Since 2011, the program has awarded $293,000 to 75 nonprofits, reinforcing our commitment to strong, resilient communities.

Customer Testimonials

 
"Unrestricted funding, like we receive from Camden National Bank’s Hope@Home program, allows Knox County Homeless Coalition (KCHC) to operate with a ‘do the right thing’ philosophy. As we face some of the most acute needs our area has experienced in decades, funding of this sort supports the work we do within the community – even before someone is able to sign up for our services."

Director of Social Services at KCHC
