Applications are now open for the Arnold Clark Community Fund, with this round focusing on education, youth groups and clubs, community enhancement and sustainability initiatives.

The Community Fund supports local charities and organisations to strengthen communities and help build a better future. Eligible applicants include registered charities, local community groups, social enterprises, Community Interest Companies (CICs), and voluntary-led partnerships. Organisations must be based in, or operate solely within the UK, and be located within 50 miles of an Arnold Clark branch. Applicants are usually notified of the outcome within four weeks. Please note that organisations who have been successful in one Arnold Clark funding round cannot apply to another round within the same calendar year.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 30 September 2026.
