Supporting projects which are embedded in the communities in which we operate.
Apply now
Our Communities Support is available to organisations who provide services which are widely accessible to those within our local communities and address the needs of the people living within them, supporting our local communities to a better future.
Applications to Our Communities Support are only eligible if in one of the following categories: animal welfare (benefiting humans), arts and culture, community development, disability, education, recreation, relief support and mental health support – where people/communities in the UK are the primary and immediate focus of investment. Applications are also only eligible if they’re made by an organisation that is based/operates solely in the UK and is located within 50 miles of an Arnold Clark branch.
Please note, although we want to help everyone, we are focused on ensuring funding is distributed equally (as far as possible). This means that if we have already provided funding to a significant amount of organisations in your area, this may impact upon your application.
Most organisations are eligible to apply, and we particularly welcome applications from smaller voluntary and community organisations who are working within our local communities. Please ensure you read and understand the below eligibility criteria before submitting an application.
We welcome applications from:
Please note: Arnold Clark will not pay into an individual’s bank account. You must have a bank account set up in the name of your organisation prior to submitting an application to the Arnold Clark Community Fund.
Firstly, please check your eligibility. If you’re eligible, all you have to do is complete the application form and tell us about your charity or community group and how we can help. We will only accept one application per organisation every six months.
