Aims/Priorities: The Aviva Community Fund has been running for the last five years. It has joined with Crowdfunder to support projects that are looking to raise up to £50,000.
One of Aviva’s objectives is to build stronger, more resilient communities across the UK.
To that end, it is providing this match funding opportunity to help small charities and communities causes to test innovative ideas and explore new sustainable strategies without fear of risk in the areas of Climate Action and Financial Wellbeing.
Who can apply? Applications will be accepted from one of the following types of organisations:
- Charity
- Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)
- Community Interest Company (CIC)
- Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG)
- Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC)
Grant Amount: The maximum grant available is £50,000.
Aviva will match each donation up to £250. For example, if someone gives £5, Aviva will double it to £10. If they give £250, Aviva will match it, so the cause gets £500. Organisations can receive up to £50,000 in match funding.
In addition, the Aviva Community Fund also gives causes access to volunteers, as well as tools and resources to help build their capabilities and achieve long-term sustainable success.
Application Process: Applications are open all year. There are no deadlines.
The first step is for applicants to set up a crowdfunding campaign on Crowdfunder. Campaigns typically run for 28 days but take a few weeks to create so groups should allow about six weeks in total.
Full details and the online application can be found on the Aviva Community Fund crowdfunding page.
