Do you have a big idea for making a difference in your community? Aviva Insurance wants to hear about your ideas! Theย Aviva Community Fund is an annual charitable program that helps to fund these big ideas. They have $1,000,000 to spend and they need your help to submit ideas and vote on your favorites.

This is the fifth year of the program and they have given away over $3.5 Million to date. Past winners have included projects such as:

  • Restoring the community pool in the town of Smiths Falls
  • A Splash Park in Canora, SK in remembrance of Chase Kraynick and as a reminder to “Pay it Forward”
  • Providing funding to a home-based animal shelter in Aylesford, Nova Scotia

Starting September 23rd, submit your idea for positive change and have a chance at sharing in the $1,000,000 Aviva Community Fund. Ideas can be submitted until November 25, 2013.

Finalists are chosen based on the number of votes so rally your friends, family and community together to vote for your idea. Have a friend that owes you a favor? Now is the time to cash that in!

Note that getting an insurance broker to support an idea increases the chances of winning so mark this step into your plan of action.

    What a huge contribution Aviva is making to Canadian communities. I have yet to submit an idea but I have been supporting other communities by voting and promoting their events. Can’t wait until September 23!

    Besos, Sarah

    The Chase Kraynick Pay it Forward Splash Park won the Broker Supported Grand Prize of $90,000!!! This was HUGE for our small town of Canora (population 2,400). A project of our size would have taken an incredible amount of time to fundraise for, but with AVIVA’s help our project became a reality in a mere 11 months!!! I would highly recommend te AVIVA Community Fund competition for any community wanting to complete a project and make a difference in their community! Thank you AVIVA!!!

    Nice! I remember hearing lots about the AVIVA fund when the animal shelter you mentioned was in the running -it’s local to me. I never checked back to see how they did and I’m so happy to see that they benefitted ๐Ÿ˜€

    I love seeing companies INVEST in their communities. What a great way to help out the less fortunate or to just shape things up. Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ™‚
