Bar Harbor Bank & Trust’s charitable mission is to improve the economic prosperity and health of our communities through our commitment to impactful philanthropy and volunteer service engagement. We recognize the importance of partnering with nonprofit organizations so our collective effort enhances local projects and programs to achieve maximum impact.

We understand that nonprofits provide crucial services for those in need and that they require a broad base of support from individuals, corporations, civic organizations, and foundations. We believe that we can make the most impact through numerous smaller gifts rather than a few large ones. Our funding support is typically less than $5,000.
