The Association of Military Banks of America (AMBA) is pleased to offer its annual Matching Grant Program, as part of AMBA’s support to its members. This program is designed to help member banks strengthen their support efforts and make a meaningful impact in the communities they serve, particularly military and veteran communities.
Step 1: Determine Eligibility
AMBA member banks in good standing are eligible to apply for a matching grant of up to $1,500. Only one application per bank will be considered.
Step 2: Explore Additional Funding Opportunities
Banks that also participate in the Armed Forces Financial Network (AFFN) may apply separately for an additional $1,500 through the AFFN Matching Grant Program. This allows eligible AMBA-AFFN banks to receive up to $3,000 in total matching grant funds.
Step 3: Complete the Application
Interested banks should complete the grant application and submit all required supporting documentation. In 2026, AMBA awarded up to 14 matching grants, each valued at $1,500.
Step 4: Support Community Impact
Through this program, AMBA partners with member banks to support initiatives that align with their community service and charitable giving goals, helping create lasting positive impacts in military and veteran communities.
AMBA looks forward to helping member banks achieve their community service objectives. Begin the process today by completing the application and submitting the requested documentation to be considered for matching grant funding. Each year, AMBA will share application details and deadlines in an AMBAgram announcement to its members, so please be on the lookout for upcoming announcements.
