The SPFL has announced a new donation of almost £400,000 to its trust from a mystery benefactor as clubs are invited to apply for up to £10,000 in grants.
The governing body's charity arm received £3,125,000 plus gift aid from Hearts benefactor James Anderson last year, before an anonymous donor gifted £625,000 in two payments.
The second of those is due to be paid this summer and the SPFL has announced that a third benefactor has now come forward.
The donor, who wishes to remain anonymous has given £375,000 to the SPFL Trust.
Community trusts and clubs with a community department - rather than an independent charity - will be able to apply for a grant of up to £10,000 to support activity which directly benefits the local community.
SPFL trust chair Bernadette Malone said: "We’d like to thank our third, generous donor for stepping forward to support the SPFL Trust and - vitally - the extraordinary work that takes place in communities across Scotland.
"This funding will enable us to embark on a transformational piece of work for everyone involved in community engagement around Scottish football. "
Dawn Middleton of the Motherwell Community Trust commented: "Motherwell Football Club Community Trust does a lot of excellent work in the community; this work is easily quantified by statistics but the true impact of what we do is not easily measurable.
“The opportunity to work with the SPFL Trust and partners to develop an evaluation tool which will show the true social return of investment in community projects is of significant benefit to clubs across the country and I am looking forward to our involvement."
