We’ve been running the Aviva Community Fund for over four years now, and we’re proud to have helped thousands of small charities and good causes build stronger communities all across the UK.

Small but vital charities can apply for grants of £45k or £100k over 3 years that can be used entirely for core costs.

The Atul Pathak Community Awards provide annual one-off donations of between £500 and £3,000 and a year-long corporate partnership to registered charities and community groups.

Ibrahim Foundation makes grants to organisations which aim to improve the quality of life for people and communities in the UK. They like to consider work which others may find hard to fund, perhaps because it breaks new ground, appears too risky, requires core funding. The grants range from £500 – £10,000. Extraordinary projects may receive grants up to £50,000.

The Wakeham Trust provides grants to help people rebuild their communities. They are particularly interested in neighbourhood projects, community arts projects, projects involving community service by young people, or projects set up by those who are socially excluded.

Launched in 2008, Waitrose Community Matters initiative donated over £14 million to local charities chosen by the public.
