Aviva Canada puts up $1 million for second round of Aviva Community Fund

The Aviva Community Fund competition will return again this year, with Aviva Canada offering $1 million to support community initiatives across Canada.
This doubles the company’s $500,000 pledge in 2009.
The second installment of the competition will begin in the fall.
More than 2,000 ideas were proposed during last year’s competition. Eight community winners were selected.
“This year, we wanted to build on the passion we saw from Canadians in response to the first Aviva Community Fund, by upping our commitment with a $1-million pledge,” says Aviva president and CEO Maurice Tulloch.
“This competition truly reinforces our mission to help children and families in need in the neighbourhoods where our customers, employees, brokers and partners live, work and play everyday.”
