The Aviva Foundation is looking to partner with around 8 to 10 organisations that 'are striving to help people feel more secure, confident, and in control of their finances, now and in the future'. The funding is to contribute to 'transformational changes in the financial resilience of those who need it most'.

The Foundation is currently accepting applications from UK-registered charitable, non-profit organisations and social enterprises that deliver public benefit with an annual income of at least £1 million, with projects delivering impact within the UK.

Although there is no set maximum grant level (the minimum grant is £100,000) the average grant is typically between £250,000 and £300,000, spread over three years.

The funding is for programmes and projects that:

Build financial confidence and capability – helping people manage their money and plan ahead.
Improve access to fair, affordable, and inclusive financial services – such as savings, protection, and pensions.
Support people through financial shocks and hardship – including access to essentials and opportunities to build savings.
Address systemic issues – such as debt, housing insecurity, and digital exclusion, which can undermine financial resilience.

Priority will be given to organisations and initiatives that are:

Transformational – aiming for long-term, sustainable change in financial resilience.
Impact-driven – focussed on measuring and demonstrating the difference they make.
Inclusive – supporting people and communities with low financial resilience, especially those facing barriers due to inequality and discrimination.
Community-rooted – working closely with communities and embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything they do.
Learning-focussed – committed to sharing insights and influencing wider change.

The funding can support core costs and overheads as part of the overall request.

There are two rounds in 2026 with a two-stage application process.

The deadline for applications to round two is 7 October 2026. For more information, please visit Financial Futures Fund - Aviva Foundation
