Corporate Social Responsibility

Our communities are at the heart of everything we do.

Grant Funding

Our top priorities for giving grants and donations to Community Based Organizations (CBOs) are to fund activities that: ensure community members have access to a safe and affordable place to call home, create and provide economic development opportunities and create initiatives that bring financial education to our communities to prepare people for healthier financial lives.

Serving our neighbors with financial education and economic empowerment is essential to the commitment we have to our communities. Therefore, our funding priorities are programs that serve historically excluded communities, focus on financial education, workforce development and safe and affordable housing.

We offer two grant programs:

Atlantic Union Bank Community Impact Annual Grant

Any Community Based Organization serving areas within the Atlantic Union Bank footprint is eligible to apply for grant funding. Typical grant awards range from $2,000 - $10,000.

2026 grant applications are now closed. 2027 applications will open in February 2027.

Future Impact Maker Intern Grant

This paid internship program is an initiative to support economic mobility and workforce development for low-to-moderate income students within the community-based sector.

2026 Applications are closed. 2027 applications will open in December 2026.

VOLUNTEERISM

Investing in our communities

At Atlantic Union Bank, we focus on expanding our reach to better support and reflect our communities and make it easy for Teammates to get involved.

All Teammates are also allocated paid hours of volunteer time each year to support matters they truly care about – serving the communities where they live and work. Full-time Teammates receive 16 paid hours of volunteer time and part-time Teammates are eligible for 8 hours. Learn more about our Teammate benefits and various career opportunities.

We also encourage our Teammates to consider donating to a cause of their choice. In doing so, Atlantic Union Bank pledges to match charitable gifts up to $500 per Teammate.

In 2025, Atlantic Union Bank Teammates donated 16,711 volunteer hours to their communities.

Volunteers

One of the most impactful ways we give back is by leveraging the talent and leadership of our Teammates to support organizations doing great work locally. AUB Board Connect helps promote board service opportunities to Teammates and recommends strong candidates to Community Based Organizations seeking new members. We accept requests for Board of Directors roles, non board committee positions and Young Professional Board seats. Use this form to share details about your board, mission and ideal candidate profile.

How It Works:

Community Based Organizations submit a board member request
Provide information about your organization, mission and the skills or experience you're seeking.
AUB identifies a pool of qualified Teammates
We review your request and match it with Teammates who have relevant expertise, interests and availability.
You receive a list of potential candidates
We’ll send you a list of Teammates who have expressed interest. From there, you can continue with your internal selection and interview process.
