OCF distributes around £1 million in grants every year to charities across Oxfordshire that are working at the grassroots level to tackle the most pressing problems faced by its citizens, including emergency response to crises such as COVID-19. This incorporates funds awarded at OCF’s discretion and according to our strategic priorities, as well as grants made through donor-advised funds and national funders.
