To celebrate Avon's 125th anniversary, we launched Avon's National Women's Fund - a new programme to support registered women's charities throughout UK. As the company for women, Avon is passionate about building a better tomorrow for women, their families and their communities. That's why, through this fund, we provide cash grants of up to £1,000 every two months so that women can enjoy a better tomorrow.

Anyone can apply for the Avon's National Women's Fund grant, but the beneficiary must be a registered charity. You must demonstrate how the fund will either empower women or improve the lives of women and their wider community.

On a monthly basis the applications will be reviewed and judged and grants will be issued accordingly.

Our judges will be looking to award the grants to charity projects that best demonstrate the following:

Avon is passionate about supporting women's causes and we believe that by making a concentrated effort, we can help to make a real difference to women's lives. We have made a commitment to the two causes that matter most to women: breast cancer and domestic violence.

If you are fundraising, spreading awareness and/or care to benefit one of our charity partners (Breakthrough Breast Cancer, Crazy Hats Breast Cancer Appeal and Women's Aid), we'd be delighted to donate a £50 product hamper to support your fundraising efforts.

Please email avon@breakthrough.org.uk if you would like to request a product donation for activities supporting Breakthrough Breast Cancer or Crazy Hats Breast Cancer Appeal.

Please email avon@womensaid.org.uk if you would like to request a product donation for activities supporting domestic violence services, awareness and care.

Every effort helps and you can make a difference!
