Our Mission

Inspired by the fabric of our communities, the Martha's Vineyard Bank Charitable Foundation supports nonprofits that enhance the lives of those we serve.

Martha's Vineyard Bank Charitable Foundation is deeply committed to sustaining prosperous, vital and livable communities through ongoing charitable grants, sponsorships and scholarships on Martha's Vineyard and in Falmouth. Our grant and donation awards to local nonprofits are committed to the betterment of our community in the areas of Affordable Housing, Climate and Environment, Community Services (including Food Insecurity), Culture, Art and Historic Heritage, Economic Development, Education, Elder Services, Health and Human Need, and Special capital Expenditure. We have always believed that investing in the strength and vibrancy of the communities we serve yields the greatest return.

"We believe these significant donations will allow our community partners to make an even more meaningful impact," said James M. Anthony, President & Director of Martha's Vineyard Bank Charitable Foundation. "Our vision is that one day each of our neighbors will have a warm home, good health and a brighter tomorrow."
