We are the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation – a unique place-based foundation with a vision to make the world’s first Garden City a great place for everyone to live, work and visit.
We manage our assets and investments to generate income that enables us to care for the Garden City estate and support our local community, providing access to green spaces and a range of culture, heritage, learning and leisure facilities.
We fund and support local organisations working to improve everyone’s quality of life and meet our charitable objectives.
We’re proud to be entrusted with promoting Letchworth Garden City’s heritage.
Our Financial Model
Our ability to fund and support services for the residents of Letchworth depends on our ability to effectively manage our assets, primarily our property portfolio.
Out of the portfolio, the largest income generation comes from our commercial and residential properties.
When it comes to ensuring these resources are used as effectively as possible, it is vital that we understand the specific social, cultural and economic needs of Letchworth Garden City.
In addition to this, since 2023 the Foundation is now actively seeking support from like-minded organisations, particularly Trusts and Foundations, to help us fulfil our culture and leisure vision as we strive to provide opportunities for our Letchworth residents and beyond.
