Bridging Communities: City Bridge Foundation Announces £20,000 in Grant Funding Round

In a significant boost to its charitable endeavors, City Bridge Foundation is thrilled to announce a recent funding raise of £20,000. As a longstanding charity with roots dating back almost 900 years, City Bridge Foundation has a rich history centered around the maintenance of the historic London Bridge and its associated structures. Through a diverse portfolio of revenue streams including bridge tolls, rents, and generous donations, the foundation has amassed total assets of about £1.6 billion. While maintaining the iconic Tower, London, Southwark, Millennium, and Blackfriars bridges remains a priority, the organization has also been dedicated to enhancing community well-being in Greater London through strategic financial support. Since 1995, surplus funds have been allocated to grant-making initiatives, with over £30 million awarded to various charitable organizations throughout London. Moreover, the foundation is committed to distributing an additional £200 million to support local charities by 2026. The recent £20,000 funding achievement will play a crucial role in expanding City Bridge Foundation's reach and impact, allowing for more robust support of projects that align with its mission of fostering positive change in London's communities. Additionally, this funding will enhance the successful integration of the foundation's various teams since the rebranding from City Bridge Trust in September 2023, fostering a more unified approach to charity and community service. With the City of London Corporation as its sole trustee, City Bridge Foundation continues to exemplify governance and dedication to making a tangible difference in the lives of Londoners today and for generations to come.
