Our Structure Funding

Funding

Strong Cities works with its city members, national governments and international partners to marshal financial and in-kind resources

Strong Cities has received multiyear funding from both the European Commission (Service for Foreign Policy Instruments) through its STRIVE Cities Initiative, and the US Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism. The Network has also received grants from the Governments of Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Member Cities, such as Aurora (USA), Denver (USA), Halle (Germany), London (UK), Oslo (Norway), The Hague (Netherlands), and the State of Victoria (Australia), have also supported the Strong Cities mission by commissioning projects or through in-kind contributions.
