Welcoming Jennifer Ubaldino as Director of Corporate Philanthropy

December 18, 2025
At Middlesex Savings Bank, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are. That’s why we’re excited to welcome Jennifer Ubaldino as our new Director of Corporate Philanthropy and Executive Director of the Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation.

Jennifer joins us at an important moment for our communities. As local families face increasing challenges, the Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation recently awarded $190,000 in food security grants, supporting 38 local food pantries and one regional food-insecurity program. This investment reflects our continued commitment to helping neighbors access essential resources when they need them most.

With more than 25 years of experience leading high-impact community initiatives, Jennifer brings deep expertise and a lifelong dedication to philanthropy. Most recently, she served as Executive Director of the Concord Carlisle Foundation, where she guided the organization through pivotal moments—including the COVID-19 pandemic—and helped support the state’s largest family homeless shelter. Prior to that, Jennifer spent 12 years with the Community Foundation for MetroWest, developing philanthropy education programs for youth and nonprofit professionals and strengthening the region’s nonprofit ecosystem.

In her new role, Jennifer will oversee the Bank’s corporate giving and the Charitable Foundation’s grantmaking strategy, building on a legacy of community investment. Since 2000, the Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation has provided more than $17 million in grants to nonprofits across the region, addressing critical needs and supporting long-term community well-being.

“Philanthropy and community service have always been cornerstones of our mission as a community bank,” said Dana Neshe, President and CEO of Middlesex Savings Bank. “We’re pleased that Jennifer has joined the Bank and know that her expertise and passion for strengthening communities will help us continue our impact at a time when the needs of our region continue to grow.”

This year’s food security grants come at a time when demand at food pantries and hunger-relief organizations is rising. The Foundation’s investment helps ensure these organizations can continue their vital work on the front lines of food insecurity.

“I’m honored to join a bank so deeply committed to community well-being,” Jennifer shared. “I look forward to advancing our philanthropic work, deepening our relationships, and helping ensure that essential resources reach the neighbors who need them most—especially during a time of heightened need.”

We’re proud to welcome Jennifer to the Middlesex Savings Bank team and look forward to the positive impact her leadership will bring to our communities.
