Autotrader Community Fund

The Autotrader Community Fund in partnership with Forever Manchester is a grant program designed to encourage and support grassroots community organizations in Greater Manchester. The fund welcomes applications from small, community-based and locally controlled groups that manage themselves, encourage people to get involved as volunteers and who need financial help to work with their community. Local groups are empowered to identify how they can best work in their communities, with the fund supporting activities that provide positive outcomes for the local community. The fund recognizes that great things happen in and around Greater Manchester and aims to provide a positive, friendly and accessible approach to gaining much needed financial support for community groups. Applicants must be based in one of the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester and have an annual income of less than £75,000. The fund cannot support activities that have already taken place or been paid for, contributions to major appeals, activities promoting political or religious beliefs, or activity which should be provided by statutory services.
