I want to say a big thank you for OCF’s faith in Aspire to support our homelessness prevention service at a critical time. Good Exchange funds have enabled us to maintain the team in the interim phase and to appoint a part-time worker with lived experience onto the team.
“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”.
“As a partner, OCF provide a mechanism which allows us to channel our philanthropic investment directly into the heart of the projects we care about.”
“This is indeed timely, especially coming at a time when voices of intolerance and hate seem to be getting louder. The idea of building relationships between people of diverse backgrounds, through encouraging partnership working, is an excellent one, and I support it wholeheartedly.”
“Organisations are being forced to use precious time and resources writing proposal after proposal to countless trusts because they don’t have enough information”
“99% of 500 charities interviewed said the grant application process was too complicated and bureaucratic, calling for standardised and centralised forms.”
“We have been supported by your organisation since I started the club 22 years ago. You have helped us in hard times, keeping the kids on the straight and narrow. I would like to thank you for all your support – without groups like you we would struggle to survive.”
“We believe you do a sterling job for the communities of Oxfordshire. Keep up the good work.”
“OCF provides a much-needed and professional service in Oxfordshire.”
“It’s made such a difference to have a philanthropy expert on the team – and OCF make the whole process hassle-free and human for clients.”
