A fund to empower community groups and organisations across the UK to protect and restore nature in local areas.

Aviva, in partnership with WWF and the RSPB, is dedicating £1 million to this fund, delivered by Crowdfunder. 

Whether you’re working together to plant community gardens, support local wildlife or anything else to help nature near you, you can get £500 to kick-start your project PLUS £2 for every £1 you raise, to help your project reach its target quicker. That’s a total match of £15,000 per community project.

Three key areas that the fund covers are:

Nature Restoration: Dive into activities that enhance local biodiversity. Whether it’s protecting or restoring habitats, creating nature havens, connecting green spaces, or addressing activities that directly impact biodiversity, your project will be a force for nature’s revival.

Nature Connectedness and Pro-Environmental Behaviours: Take action to foster a greater connection to nature within your community. Promote pro-environmental behaviours that will benefit nature and leave a lasting, positive impact.

Community Cohesion and Connection: Funded projects will do more than conserve nature, they will bring communities together in beautiful ways. By connecting people of diverse backgrounds, generations, and abilities to both nature and each other, you’ll build a stronger, more united community.

The closing date for applications is 23.59pm on 1 November 2023.
