Foundation East is a non-profit distributing organisation that operates across the East of England (comprising Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire).

We lend money to new businesses and existing businesses that can’t get a loan from a bank or need additional funds to match bank lending.

We offer personal loans in some areas through partnerships with housing associations and other social landlords.

We develop Community Land Trusts to enable local people to own and control local assets. This initiative is designed to create affordable housing and managed workspaces, particularly in rural communities. Our first working Community Land Trust is Miles Ward Court in Halesworth, Suffolk comprising 8 managed business workspaces.
