City Funds LP
Place-based investment to address the causes and effects of inequality in Bristol.
The challenge
Like lots of places in the UK, many people in Bristol experience inequality, which impacts their life expectancy, educational opportunities and employment chances.
Our approach
Working together with Bristol City Council, Quartet Community Foundation, Power to Change and fund manager Bristol and Bath Regional Capital, we developed an investment coordinating resource to address local challenges. By working with expert partners, we are able to align around a common vision for the city to address some of the biggest social and environmental problems Bristol faces.
The Fund
The Fund will invest in impact-driven organisations alongside aligned grants and other resources to achieve positive social impact within key communities in Bristol. In particular, the Fund will address: economic inclusion; environmental transformation; community resilience; and child hunger.
