Arco Community Grants

At Arco, we believe in the power of community and the positive impact that collaboration can have on society. As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we are thrilled to offer our Arco Community Grant scheme.

This initiative is designed to support external charities and not for profit community organisations that share our vision for creating a safer world. Through these grants, we aim to foster innovation, empower local initiatives, and contribute to the well-being of communities around us. By investing in projects that align with our three focus areas, we hope to propel positive change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply for a grant?
Any charity or not for profit community organisation can apply for a grant but it must be used to benefit people living in and around the communities in which Arco operates.
Who decides if an application is successful?
All application forms are reviewed on a quarterly basis by an internal panel made up of various employees in different roles across the business. All applications are reviewed against our three focus areas.
What can the grant be used for?
The Arco Community Grant can be used to benefit people living in and around the communities we operate. It can be used for specific purchases such as IT equipment, or to help fund big projects like building repairs. Generally, applications to fund things that have longevity, and a far-reaching impact are more likely to be successful than applications for one-off events or items that can only be used once. Applications for venue hire, travel costs, marketing materials or requests for sports kit, equipment and / or sponsorship will not be considered.
