2026 Foundation Focus & Process For the current year, we will follow the traditional bank nomination process. On August 11, 2026, the nomination period opened, and bank leaders and pertinent staff were asked to nominate deserving non-profit organizations within the Commonwealth or Greater New England region that are dedicated to financial literacy.
