City Bridge Foundation to Close New Grant Applications for a Year (London)

City Bridge Foundation, London’s biggest independent funder, is closing its rolling grants programmes for a year due to an unprecedented surge in demand. This pause will enable the Foundation to process outstanding applications.

Current grant holders will not be affected, and new applications received by 12pm on the 8th October 2024 will still be considered.

The closure will not impact the Foundation’s strategic programmes, such as its suicide prevention work. Collaborative and cross-sector funding programmes, including the Anchor and Propel programmes, which provide strategic funding for umbrella charities, will remain unaffected.

The charity plans to launch a new 10-year funding policy in autumn 2025, aiming for a more focused approach to target funding where it is most needed.
