Atlantic Union Bank’s Future Community Impact Makers grant application program remains open for nonprofits and community-based organizations to support 2025 paid summer internship programs. The deadline is Friday.

Fifty grants of $4,000 each will be awarded across the bank’s service area for a total community investment of $200,000. This year, an additional 20 grants were added to the program.

“For students seeking to develop core skills and begin building their professional network, summer internships provide invaluable experience,” said Nathalia Artus, Head of Community Impact at Atlantic Union Bank.

Atlantic Union Bank will award up to 50 organizations with $4,000 in grant funds to support an intern. The majority of the funding—$3,600—is intended to go directly to intern wages. Of the remaining $400, $150 is designated for associate management/recruitment costs and $250 will be used for direct professional development costs, such as conference attendance or association membership. In addition, organizations will receive professional development and internship best practice resources.

Organizations must be community-based (e.g., nonprofits, government entities, community foundations, etc.), located in an Atlantic Union Bank service area, and commit to hosting an undergraduate- or graduate-level student in an eight-week, direct-permanent hire, paid internship program. The grant recipients will have full discretion on the intern’s job description and hiring decision. Atlantic Union Bank will provide resources and guidance as needed.

Grant applications are due by 11:59 p.m. Friday. Awards will be announced by email no later than Feb. 17. Interested organizations can find more information and apply at AUBCares.com.

Headquartered in Richmond, Atlantic Union Bank has 129 branches located throughout Virginia and in portions of Maryland and North Carolina, including a branch at Gloucester Court House.
