Launched in March 2015, the Aviva Community Fund is provided by Aviva plc, a British multinational insurance company headquartered in London.

Aviva continues to offer match funding grants of up to £50,000 per project through its partnership with Crowdfunder.

The funding is for projects that align with one of Aviva's funding areas:

Financial Wellbeing - helping people take control of their wellbeing by giving them the tools to be more financially independent and ready for anything.
Climate Action - promoting healthy, thriving communities by preventing, preparing for and protecting against the impacts of climate change.

All beneficiaries of the project must be in the UK.

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.

Charities, Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs), Community Interest Companies (CICs), Companies Limited by Guarantee (CLG) and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASC) can apply.

To be eligible, organisations must be based in the UK, have been operating for at least 12 months at the time of submission, have an annual income of no more than £2 million, and have a UK bank account in their own name.

The first step is for applicants to set up a crowdfunding campaign on Crowdfunder.
