Starting December 5, voters are encouraged to visit www.AvivaCommunityFund.org to support their favourite semi-finalist ideas until December 16, 2011. Finalists and winners will be announced December 20, 2011 and January 25, 2012, respectively.

However, every idea can be a winner. Starting today, ideas with associated charities that are not moving on to the semi-finals will have their “vote now” button replaced with a “donate now” button. These ideas can continue to leverage AvivaCommunityFund.org to collect donations from supporters.
