Aviva launches annual Community Fund competition

The Aviva Community Fund competition has returned for the third year in a row. This year’s fund was officially launched on Sept. 26 in North Bay, Ont.

Canadians can go to to submit ideas that will have a positive effect on their local community.

After rallying support from friends, family, neighbours and coworkers, the most popular ideas will have a chance to be funded with the $1,000,000 Aviva Community Fund.

As in previous years, Canadians can still vote at, but starting this year, can also vote on Facebook at www.facebook.com/AvivaCommunityFund.

For every Like the Aviva Community Fund receives on Facebook, $1 will be donated to Free The Children to support at-risk youth programs in Canada.

Broker partners can vote straight from AvivaPartner.ca. When a broker votes for an idea on the Aviva Community Fund, that idea automatically qualifies for up to $150,000 of funding that is available exclusively to broker supported ideas.
