Citylife Bonds appeal to old and new philanthropists alike as a way of unlocking NEW sources of funding compared with conventional donations and as a way of getting EXTRA money to local charitable/regeneration activities. Focused, ‘pain-free’ altruism like this creates a BIG enough impact to make a significant difference.

Our 1300+ supporters are drawn from personal investors, corporate investors, community groups and trusts. They have all chosen to invest their money for the benefit of their communities and in doing so have strengthened cross-community relationships and helped to bridge the divide between those who have and those who have not.
