ABOUT OXFORDSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Oxfordshire Community Foundation (OCF) is an independent charity that connects people who care with causes that matter. We inspire local philanthropy, and nurture community-based solutions to key social problems across Oxfordshire.
We are one of 46 community foundations in the UK, and
over 1,800 similar foundations around the world. Community foundations collaborate with private philanthropists, family trusts, businesses and the public sector to provide a permanent, exible and growing source of local charitable funding.
OCF has built an endowment fund of nearly £5 million, and awarded more than £5 million in grants to local community groups working to make Oxfordshire a better place. We aim to increase our endowment fund to at least £10 million by 2020.
We believe in lasting, strategic and proactive solutions to complex social problems. To achieve these, we are committed to developing our knowledge and understanding of Oxfordshire’s needs and all available resources.
We work in partnership with others so that we can have a greater impact.
