Funding Available for Innovative Community Projects

Aviva has partnered with the fundraising platform Crowdfunder to support small charities and community groups with innovative ideas that benefit their communities and are looking to raise up to £50,000.

The Aviva Community Fund will match each donation given, up to the value of £250, to support projects that help address the key issues of climate action and financial wellbeing. Activities could include providing cost-of-living support, community energy schemes, or financial education workshops. It is designed to back fresh ideas and scalable projects that make a measurable impact.

Once applications have been submitted, applicants will create a fundraising page on Crowdfunder, which Aviva employees and the public can donate to.

Applications can be submitted at any time and are reviewed quarterly.
