Women’s History Month recognizes the hard work, commitment, and leadership of women across this country. Their legacy is what paved the path for the women of today. Nancy Stager is a prime example of a woman who continues to make extraordinary efforts to support and celebrate Boston’s many communities.

Nancy Huntington Stager leads Eastern’s philanthropy, volunteerism programming, and civic advocacy. Having joined the Bank in 1995 as Chief HR Officer, Nancy has actively shaped the culture the Bank enjoys today as consistently one of the “Top Places to Work” in the region, as well as the Bank’s corporate social responsibility reputation in the communities of eastern Massachusetts, southern & coastal New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. She was named President & CEO of the Eastern Bank Foundation in July of 2019.

She is dedicated to creating and supporting robust programming to celebrate and assist our communities, encouraging colleagues to volunteer their skills with non-profit organizations addressing community needs, as well as serving as a strong advocate for economic inclusion and mobility and other social justice causes aimed at creating a better, fairer, more sustainable world. Now at approximately $250 Million in assets, the Eastern Bank Foundation (EBF) remains focused on the communities within Eastern’s market area, annually providing over $12MM in grants to more than 1,000 local organizations. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, EBF has stepped up for our communities with more than $16.5 Million in donations, which is on top of it’s regular grant programs, and introduced a new Impact Grant program focused on Economic Inclusion and Mobility.

Nancy is also co-founder of the Foundation for Business Equity (FBE), a private foundation incubated with more than $15MM in grants from EBF, which is focused on Black and LatinX enterprises in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, building capacity and facilitating access to capital and contracts, which enable their growth. After 5 years of incubation, FBE recently merged with Mill Cities Communities Investments (MCCI) in Lawrence, and Nancy has joined this combined board.

Nancy has received numerous awards for her leadership in Corporate Social Responsibility and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, recently from The Commonwealth Institute as a Top 100 Women-Led CEOs in Massachusetts, from the Boston Business Journal as one of Power 50 Movement Makers in Massachusetts, as well as American Bankers Association with the Community Commitment Award for Economic Inclusion; the Founder’s Award from Conexión; from the Boston Business Journal with a Leaders in Diversity Award for Corporate Social Responsibility and the Lifetime Achievement Award as a Leader in Diversity; from the YWCA Boston which inducted her into its Academy of Women Achievers; and the Medal of Honor from the National Center for Race Amity.

Nancy is a Director of Philanthropy Massachusetts and serves on the boards of a number of community organizations across the Greater Boston area. Her published thought leadership has focused on social justice and economic inclusion and mobility.
