We don’t have any vacancies currently but there are other ways you can support the work of Oxfordshire Community Foundation in helping those most in need throughout our county.
Take a look below for some ideas and inspiration.
Become a grant panellist or assessor
If you have some time and the skills to help deliver our grants programmes, you can volunteer as a grant panellist or assessor. Our work would not be possible without the support of our wonderful, dedicated volunteers. If you think you may have something to contribute, please do contact us.
Become a trustee
We’re looking for a small number of additional trustees to ensure we have a broad range of skills to support our governance and strategy. In particular we are keen to hear from anyone who has a background in grant-making that could bring their expertise to our board.
OCF’s staff and trustees work collaboratively, pooling knowledge and insights to reach our goal of being a gold-standard grant-maker. Our volunteer trustees meet around 12 times a year which includes quarterly board meetings and ad hoc strategy meetings, and sub-committees covering Finance, Philanthropy and Grant-making. To find out more contact OCF’s Chief Executive Zoe Sprigings for an informal chat.

“It is so uplifting to meet so many people blessed with generous hearts and a deep sense of community.”
“I really appreciate your work on what for my parents is such an important project. I am glad that the fund has been developing so positively and swiftly.”
“I give for a mixture of motives: I do it to make my life more interesting; I do it to make myself feel a better person. I do it because I can; to have the pleasure associated with mixing with the people whose fields I support. I do it for the dream of actually achieving something!”
“I opened a fund with OCF because of their knowledge, expertise and extensive contacts. I wanted to be part of it, to make my dream come true in helping the very young – the fund encompasses everything I’ve done in the past and expands the impact I’ve achieved”.
“OCF’s knowledge and resources drive real change. They unlock the power of community, allowing people to feel more connected to those around them, and for all who live in Oxfordshire to have better lives.”
