With strong community ties in and around Boston, Eastern has earned a reputation for strong community involvement and civic leadership. We are committed to improving the quality of life in the communities in which we work and live.

We encourage our employees to volunteer their time and leadership skills to organizations that provide educational or social services, and the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation supports hundreds of non-profit groups in the region, donating $3.8 million in 2007.
