FDIC FDIC-Insured - Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government

Continuing its yearlong celebration of 175 years of relationships, Essex Bank has awarded its latest monthly "Pop-Up Grant" of $1,851 to Essex Place, a senior and affordable housing development.

The monthly surprise donations, which match the year of the Bank's founding in 1851, are designed to support local nonprofits across the region. This newest grant highlights the Bank's ongoing commitment to affordable housing in the community.

“We are proud to support Essex Place and the vital role they play in providing safe, comfortable, and affordable housing for our local seniors,” said Diane Arnold, President and CEO of Essex Bank. “As we mark 175 years of service, investing in the well-being of our senior community members is a beautiful reflection of the generations of relationships that have shaped our bank.”

Essex Place offers dedicated housing and a supportive community environment for seniors. The grant will help further their mission.

Essex Bank will continue its 175th-anniversary giving campaign with additional monthly nonprofit donations throughout the remainder of 2026.
