We’re pleased to announce that the 2025 Aviva Broker Community Fund is open for applications. Now entering its eighth year, the fund continues to offer brokers across Ireland the opportunity to nominate a registered charity or community organisation for financial support; helping to deliver meaningful impact in local communities. Brokers are invited to nominate a Charity or Community Organisation/Club which aligns with one of the three themes:
- Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
- Climate Action
- Financial Wellbeing
Reflecting on 2024
In 2024, the fund distributed a total of €141,000 across a wide range of causes. The awards ceremony, held at Aviva Stadium on 5th December 2024, celebrated eight shortlisted organisations selected from 167 broker nominations. Each nominee presented their project to a panel of judges, including Aviva leaders and independent judges from the legal and sporting sectors.

We were inspired by the range and diversity of submissions. Each shortlisted entry showcased a distinct vision for positive change, and it is encouraging to see communities unite to address diverse challenges.
