Interests This is insurance company Aviva’s charitable fund; the Aviva Climate Fund is a part of it. The funding area relevant to environmental projects is: “Climate champions: helping communities to prevent, prepare for and protect against the impacts of climate change.”
The fund works, effectively, as a Crowdfunding platform with Aviva employees being given money to distribute to projects they like, and the opportunity for you to publicise the project to raise money from the public.
