The Cultural Heritage Finance Alliance (CHiFA) promotes heritage-led regeneration through collaborative and innovative financing solutions. The intent is to position historic and culturally significant environments as anchors of productive social, economic and environmental development. Heritage-led regeneration stimulates local economies and strengthens communities. At a time when accelerating climate change, catastrophic natural disasters, sustained conflicts and a global health pandemic are rapidly changing the world as we know it, historic environments provide cultural grounding, reinforce well-being, and foster a sense of common humanity and collective identity. It is important for heritage places to survive and prosper and it is within our collective ability to see that they do. We all have a stake in their future. Government and philanthropic resources are scarce and fall far short of documented need; private sector investment is elusive for all but the highest profile international projects. We engage with local actors (communities and public and private partners) to organize planning assistance and to provide low-cost, mission driven working capital, thereby enabling projects to better attract return-seeking private finance.
