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.

Aims/Priorities: The funding is intended for a wide range of not-for-profit organisations in the UK for activities that improve people's ability to become more financially capable in their present and future circumstances.

It seeks to demonstrate how a just transition to net zero can benefit everyone.
