Through our Community Sponsorship and Donation Program, we provide support 
to local organizations across the southeastern MA, Greater Boston and RI that align with 
our areas of focus. 

HarborOne Bank’s priority investment areas include programs or projects that promote 
educational opportunity, provide basic human services, and support access to safe and 
affordable housing as well as civic-minded projects that enhance the 
quality of life around us.

Making a Difference in our Communities

Request Requirements

Please submit all sponsorship and donation requests to community@harborone.com. Requests will be reviewed at the end of each month. Funding decisions are made on available resources and the degree to which the application meets HarborOne’s priorities and funding criteria. All organizations will be notified via email if the request is approved or denied. Resources for local sponsorships and donations are quite limited and as a result many requests cannot be funded.  Please note that a declination is not a reflection of the importance of your organization’s work.

Timing: Please note that the review process will take place at the end of each month, organizations should plan to submit sponsorship request at least one month prior to event and plan accordingly as it may take 6-8 weeks to receive funds.

Frequency

Due to the volume of requests, organizations typically only receive funding from HarborOne Bank once per calendar year. We ask that organizations who possibly seek funding for multiple events throughout the calendar year to bundle and submit one request.

Eligibility Guidelines

Priority will be given to requests that align with the Bank’s priority investment areas as well as geographic service area, which includes southeastern Massachusetts, Greater Boston and Rhode Island.
