We established
the Donald E. Garrant Foundation, Inc. in 2001 in memory of Don
Garrant, former President and Chief Executive Officer of The Savings
Bank. Mr. Garrant served as President of The Savings Bank from
1980 – 1992.
To
recognize Mr. Garrant’s passion for financial literacy, the
Foundation seeks to support projects in the Public & Private Schools, Grades
K-12, and Not-for-Profit Organizations, that focus on financial education – banking, money,
saving, investing, borrowing and credit, and economics.
Also in 2001,
we marked the twentieth anniversary of the 1st Educational Savings
Branch at Wakefield High School, which was the result of Mr. Garrant’s
efforts.
