It was not immediately clear how much each organization received.
The donations were part of Beacon’s broader community giving initiative, which supported nonprofits across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and New York during the quarter.
The funding marks continued community investment by Beacon Bank following its 2025 merger that created Beacon Financial Corp., which included Brookline Bancorp, the former parent company of Bank Rhode Island.
“Giving back starts with supporting the organizations that know their communities best,” William C. Tsonos, president of Beacon Bank’s Rhode Island region, said in a statement.
Beacon Bank, the Boston-based successor institution to Bank Rhode Island following the 2025 merger that created Beacon Financial Corp., operates 145 branches across five states, including 23 locations in Rhode Island.
