Through our Community Sponsorship and Donation Program, we provide support 
to local organizations across the southeastern MA, Greater Boston and RI that align with 
our areas of focus. 

HarborOne Bank’s priority investment areas include programs or projects that promote 
educational opportunity, provide basic human services, and support access to safe and 
affordable housing as well as civic-minded projects that enhance the 
quality of life around us.

Making a Difference in our Communities

Request Requirements

HarborOne no longer accepts mailed or email requests. Please submit all requests electronically through our online portal. Completed online applications are reviewed at the end of each month. Funding decisions are made on available resources and the degree to which the application meets HarborOne’s priorities and funding criteria. All organizations will be notified via email if the request is approved or denied. Resources for local sponsorships and donations are quite limited and as a result many requests cannot be funded.  Please note that a declination is not a reflection of the importance of your organization’s work.

Timing: Please note that the review process will take place at the end of each month, organizations should plan to submit sponsorship request at least one month prior to event and plan accordingly as it may take 6-8 weeks to receive funds.
