Carver is proud to announce Bankwell’s renewed grant in support of our youth development mission. Bankwell, a Connecticut-based bank, has been a steadfast partner, demonstrating time and again that their commitment to community is more than words—it is action.
For many years, even during the pandemic, when Carver needed to adapt quickly to meet students’ academic and social-emotional needs, Bankwell was there. Their thoughtful partnership continues today, providing resources that touch every corner of our programming—from academic enrichment and wellness to preparing our high schoolers for college, such as their luggage drive for Carver’s 50th annual Spring College Tour a few years ago.
We are especially grateful for the leadership of Nancy Caccia, FVP | Community Relations at Bankwell in the New Canaan branch. Nancy is a true advocate for Carver, volunteering her time for holiday events, making introductions to strengthen our network, and now helping us launch a new financial literacy course for middle schoolers. This program will equip young people with critical life skills that will serve them well into the future.
Bankwell’s gifts are generous, timely, and deeply rooted in a concern for the well-being of our students. Their impact is felt in the classroom, in the Carver Community Center, and in the lives of the thousands of young people we serve each year. We remain grateful for friends like Bankwell who continue to come through for Carver in spectacular ways.
