*Aviva Cost of Living Boost match funding criteria
Projects aligned with the Financial Wellbeing funding area will receive match funding from Aviva.
They'll match donations pound for pound up to £250 between 4 October and 31 December, or until the entire £2 million is allocated.
- So, if your project receives a donation of £50, Aviva will donate £50.
- If your project receives a donation of £500, Aviva will donate £250.
Match funding will be given on the first donation made to your project by any supporter and not for repeat donations by any supporter.
‘All Or Nothing’ projects must reach their funding target by the target date to receive match funding.
A maximum of £50,000 of match funding is available for any organisation.
