Lee Bank’s Impact

Lee Bank’s commitment to the Berkshires extends well beyond banking.

As an independent community bank, we are able to reinvest directly into the places we live and work, supporting local organizations, events, and initiatives that strengthen our region. That support takes many forms, including grant funding through the Lee Bank Foundation, community sponsorships, and hands-on volunteer efforts by our employees.

In 2025 alone, the Lee Bank Foundation distributed $250,180 to 49 nonprofit organizations. Since its founding in 2021, the Foundation has awarded more than $1.09 million in funding to programs serving Berkshire County.

At the same time, Lee Bank provides sponsorships to help bring community events and activities to life, while our employees regularly volunteer their time and expertise to support local organizations.

This work reflects a simple belief: strong communities don’t happen by chance. They are built through consistent investment, meaningful relationships, and a shared commitment to making a difference.
