BankAtlantic Foundation
The BankAtlantic Foundation supports four key areas: community and economic development, human services, education and the arts. The BankAtlantic Foundation considers requests for specific projects as well as for general operations. The majority of the grants made by the Foundation fall within the $1,000 - $3,000 range.

Funding consideration will be given to programs within the BankAtlantic territory and within communities where associates live and work. The Foundation will fund an organization one time per calendar year up to three consecutive years. After three consecutive years of support, an organization may reapply after a one-year non-funding period. The foundation reviews proposals from March 30 to October 31, in the order in which they are received.
