At OCF, we hold a small number of our own events aimed at our supporters and corporate partners. However, the team can regularly be found out and about attending key events in the charitable sector locally, as well as connecting with businesses and other influencers as speakers, participants or stallholders. Please do come and find us at one of the following events, where we will be present.
We also occasionally hold small, select get-togethers for our valued supporters, generously hosted by our patrons and trustees.
Since April 2020, OCF has been running regular webinars looking at the community response to COVID-19. They feature live interviews with charitable organisations we have funded, donors and subject-matter experts. Recordings of all previous webinars can be found here.
Our webinar series continues into 2021, on the last Wednesday of each month. Topics, speakers and sign-up links are published in the calendar below. If you’d like to receive details of each webinar by email, please sign up for our updates here.

“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.”
“Prosperity requires not just investment in economic capital, but also in social capital. Community foundations are playing a critical role in helping to deliver a more inclusive capitalism.”
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
“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 set this up now as 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.”
