Bank of Canton Honored with 2023 Corporate Citizenship Award

Bank named among state’s most charitable companies for fifth consecutive year

CANTON, Mass. (July 28, 2023) – Bank of Canton was recently recognized among the state’s top 100 corporate charitable contributors by the Boston Business Journal. The bank has been an honoree in the publication’s annual Corporate Citizenship Awards for five consecutive years.

“We’re proud of our charitable giving program,” said Stephen P. Costello, president and CEO of Bank of Canton, “and we’re grateful to those who make it possible – our customers. This honor says as much about our customers’ priorities and belief in community as it does about our bank. We earned this award together.”

The 2023 Corporate Citizenship Awards recognizes 100 businesses that each gave at least $100,000 in cash contributions to Massachusetts-based charities in the last fiscal year. This year’s honorees represent a range of industries such as financial and professional services, healthcare, technology, retail and professional sports.

“We are proud to celebrate these organizations who give both money and time to make Boston a stronger and better place for all,” said Carolyn Jones, market president and publisher of the Boston Business Journal.

Since 2005, Bank of Canton has given more than $2.73 million to local charities and nonprofit organizations through donations and sponsorships.
