Aviva Foundation: Communities Fund
Created: 31/03/2026
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
The Aviva Foundation's Communities Fund will support organisations and projects that focus on either:
- Financial wellbeing - helping people feel more secure and in control of their money. This could include budgeting support, debt advice, financial education, or money management.
- Climate action - helping communities prevent, prepare for, and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. This might involve restoring nature, improving access to green spaces, or providing education and skills for a sustainable future.
Funding depends on how your mission aligns with their focus areas:
- If your core mission is aligned with either financial wellbeing or climate action, you can apply for core running costs.
- If your core mission is not directly aligned, but you’re planning a project that clearly addresses one of these areas and connects meaningfully to your wider work, you can apply for project-specific funding.
Who can apply?
To apply, your organisation must:
- Have a maximum annual income of £1 million, averaged over two years
- Be registered as a Charity, Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), Community Interest Company (CIC), or Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG).
- Focus on activities that support financial wellbeing or climate action in your local communities.
- Have been operating for at least 12 months.
- Have an active board of trustees, directors, or management body.
- Be UK-registered, with a UK bank account in the organisation's name.
- Ensure the funded project delivers impact within the UK.
- Faith-based organisations are welcome to apply, but projects must benefit the wider community, not just a single faith group.
- Share values and commitment to inclusion.
Maximum annual income: £1,000,000
How to apply
Review the eligibility criteria and submit an application form via their website.
