Giving

Do you want to support people and communities in
Oxfordshire in a meaningful, impactful way?

We ensure your giving makes a real difference to communities right on your doorstep. 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. 

As a well-established grant-maker supporting hundreds of genuine initiatives every year, we have developed robust due diligence processes to ensure your giving makes a lasting difference locally. With an endowment worth over £6.6 million, our long-term stability is secure.

Working to understand what inspires you, we will help to guide your giving journey. Whether you are giving to causes close to your heart as an individual or family, fulfilling your organisation’s CSR objectives, or want to join with others to make a bigger difference together, we can find a giving option that feels exciting for you.
