Grant News
Grants starting at £100,000 are available through the Aviva Foundation’s Financial Futures Fund for organisations working to improve financial resilience in the UK.
The Aviva Foundation supports people across the UK by funding practical solutions to current challenges and investing in long-term change.
The fund is open to UK-registered charitable, non-profit and social enterprise organisations with annual income of at least £1 million. Funded activity must deliver impact in the UK and support people with low financial resilience.
Funding can support work that helps people manage money, access fair and inclusive financial services, respond to financial shocks, build savings, and address barriers such as debt, housing insecurity and digital exclusion. Priorities include:
- transformational change;
- impact and evidence;
- inclusion;
- community-rooted delivery;
- learning, influence and scale.
Funded projects may include work that:
- builds financial confidence and capability, helping people manage money and plan ahead;
- improves access to fair, affordable and inclusive financial services, including savings, protection and pensions;
- supports people through financial shocks and hardship, including access to essentials and opportunities to build savings;
- tackles systemic barriers that undermine financial resilience, such as debt, housing insecurity and digital exclusion.
The total 2026 grant-making budget is up to £3 million across two rounds. Average grants are usually £250,000 to £300,000 over three years, with no upper limit. Core costs and overheads can be included. Applications are made through a two-stage process.
The next deadline is 7 October 2026.
