## New for 2018

 

This year Aviva is partnering with Crowdfunder UK to give people the chance to raise
extra funds for their project. As they collect votes they will also be able to choose
to crowdfund and turn support into pledges.

 

Aviva will also be launching a new community group on Facebook, providing practical
support on topics like how to use social media effectively and to build a community
network.

 

Applications to [Aviva Community Fund](https://www.aviva.co.uk/community-fund) are
now open, and close on **9 October 2018**.
