Oxfordshire Community Foundation (OCF) is a charity that
builds thriving communities through effective philanthropy.
For over 25 years we’ve improved lives and tackled inequality by investing
in our dynamic charitable sector. We distribute around £2 million in
grants every year across Oxfordshire. We work with philanthropists, businesses
and the public sector, pooling funds to make a bigger difference together.
Do you want to support people and communities in Oxfordshire in a meaningful, impactful way?
We get to the root of social issues, and work with our networks in the local charitable sector to direct your generosity where it is most needed. You can help by getting involved in personal, collective or corporate giving.
Support our appeal to raise £60,000 towards our Living Essentials Fund that will support people facing a daily struggle to provide the basics of shelter, food and warmth for themselves and their families this winter.
Whilst the cost-of-living crisis may have eased for some, those that are just making ends meet continue to sit on the precipice of homelessness, food insecurity and fuel poverty. For too many people, life is a case of surviving rather than thriving.
Could you or your organisation help us to reach or smash our target by donating to our Living Essentials Fund?

In the year to March 2023, we continued our year-on-year growth in grant-making, distributing over £2.3 million in charitable funds in Oxfordshire and beyond.
We have a set of five values that were devised in collaboration with OCF staff, supporting our goal to be the gold-standard in grant-making.
Our values are the fundamental beliefs and principles that guide us as an organisation. They represent who we are and what we stand for, helping us to make decisions and create a positive work environment for everyone who works with us.
