SEED (Seacoast Educational Endowment for Dover) is proud to announce a generous $500 sponsorship from Kennebunk Savings in support of SEED Grants for Dover public school teachers. The donation was presented earlier this week at the Kennebunk Savings Dover branch, where SEED representatives joined bank staff for a photo opportunity.

This contribution will directly benefit our educator-led grant program, helping fund innovative, hands-on learning experiences in Dover classrooms. With this support, teachers will be empowered to implement creative projects that enhance student engagement and academic growth.

Kennebunk Savings' commitment to community giving is rooted in its Community Promise Program, which pledges 10% of the bank’s annual earnings to local charitable organizations. Since the program’s inception, the bank has contributed over $20 million to nonprofits across the region. In addition to financial support, their employees volunteered over 11,000 hours in 2024 alone, demonstrating a deep and ongoing investment in the communities they serve.

“We are incredibly grateful to Kennebunk Savings for their continued support of Dover educators,” said Denise Chiota-Allen, SEED Board Member and Grants Committee Member. “This partnership strengthens our ability to fund meaningful classroom experiences and ensures that our teachers have the resources they need to bring learning to life.”

Thank you to Kennebunk Savings for sharing in our mission to empower Dover teachers and students through community generosity and collaboration.
