Chelsea Groton Foundation, Inc. was established in 1998 as a Section 501(c)(3) organization. Initially endowed with a $2 million dollar donation from Chelsea Groton Bank, the Foundation has awarded over $6.2 million in grants to non-profit organizations in the Bank’s Connecticut and Rhode Island market areas. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation swiftly responded to support emergency relief efforts, granting more than $1,000,000 to non-profit organizations – double the usual amount of total funds granted in a calendar year.

The Foundation’s mission is to support the ongoing commitment in partnership to the long-term growth of our community. Along with Chelsea Groton Bank, the Foundation is committed to belonging, equity, diversity, and inclusion, ensuring an ongoing sense of belonging for all, today and in the future.
