Cultural Heritage Finance Alliance Inc

The Cultural Heritage Finance Alliance (chifa) promotes Heritage-led regeneration through collaborative and innovative financing solutions. Chifa aims to build a global marketplace and a supportive ecosystem of expertise and civic interests premised on opportunities for capital investment in historic places. 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. Chifa makes the case that historic places are unique assets that embody many of the values that sustainable development seeks to capture.
