Atlantic Union Bank offers internship grants for community organizations

Atlantic Union Bank has opened its grant application process to non-profits and community-based organizations to support 2023 summer paid internship programs. Ten grants of $3,750 will be awarded across the state. Organizations have until 11:59 p.m. Feb. 1 to submit grant applications.

Atlantic Union Bank will award up to 10 organizations $3,750 in grant funds for each organization to support one intern. The majority of the funding – $3,600 – is intended to go directly to intern wages, $15 an hour, 30 hours a week for eight weeks. The remaining $150 will be used for the intern’s direct professional development costs (i.e., conference attendance, association membership, etc.).

Organizations will also receive professional development and internship best practice resources, and the bank will host a bi-weekly lunch-and-learn program for interns with topics that include team-building, planning career paths,  and more.

Organizations must be community-based (e.g. national, regional and local non-profits, tribal communities, etc.), located in an Atlantic Union Bank service area, and commit to hosting an undergraduate or graduate level student in an eight-week, paid internship program. 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. All intern positions are expected to begin no later than June 15, 2023 and end no later than August 15, 2023.
