Cripplegate Foundation is a local grant-making foundation supporting residents working in the London borough of Islington and a small area of the City of London. Our vision is of a society where everyone can live a rewarding and fulfilled life, free from poverty and inequality.
The origin of the Foundation lies in gifts and donations for the poor and needy made to the Church of St. Giles Without Cripplegate. The parish, named after one of the gates in the walls around the City of London, extended to the north to include the ancient manor of Finsbury.
