Aviva Foundation

The Foundation’s current funding priorities are to build understanding and explore alternative solutions that:

• Build financial inclusion.
• Strengthen financial wellbeing.
• Support strategic initiatives to help individuals and communities to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from financial challenges.

They seek to provide partners with support and security so they can experiment, innovate and try something new to challenge the status quo. This can include:

• Creating and testing new, creative ways to tackle an entrenched or emerging issue relating to the funding priorities.
• Investing in approaches which will generate insights for others, with the potential to be replicable and to scale, influencing the way issues are seen and tackled in society.
• Forging new coalitions or alliances of diverse partners to address a problem in a different way.
• Developing a response that includes a community that have been previously excluded or underrepresented.

They expect grants to be around three years, but are willing to consider different timeframes based on your theory of change.

They want to offer more than just funding, and aim to develop relationships with Aviva’s partners e.g. communications support, expert volunteering.

There will be one open application process in 2025. The application deadline is: 23rd April.
