Aviva, in partnership with WWF and the RSPB, is giving £1 million to support community groups across the UK to protect and restore nature in their local area.
We all have the power to make a real difference and help bring nature back to life. That’s why WWF, the RSPB and Aviva have come together to launch the Save Our Wild Isles Community Fund to make it easier for communities to take action for nature.
Your project must focus on taking action for nature. It should highlight how it will support communities in areas where the need is greatest and should work towards one of the following outcomes:
Aviva will provide 2:1 match funding for projects that are accepted to the Save Our Wild Isles Community Fund. There is £1 million of funding to be allocated and pledges will be matched at a rate of £2 to every £1 donated. Match funding will apply to pledges of up to £250, with £5,000 being the maximum value of 2:1 match funding a project can receive.
Groundwork is delivering these community grants, designed to support unemployed and/or economically inactive people with complex barriers to move towards employment and digital inclusion.
These grants support projects that meet health and wellbeing related needs, and build strength within communities. We'll be offering grants up to £10,000 with possibility of two year funding.
A wide range of UK registered charities based and working in the UK can apply for one-off grants of up to £5,000 for garden projects or up to £10,000 for building or indoor projects.
