Give Together
The Community Foundation is about connecting people with causes that matter to them. For many, the joy of philanthropy comes from the people and organizations they are able to meet along the way. Even if you are not ready to establish your own charitable fund, we offer several opportunities to join with like-minded members of the community to make a difference. Discover the power of giving together!
Impact 100 Richmond
Initiated by an enthusiastic group of volunteers in 2009, Impact 100 Richmond is a grassroots effort that champions the power of women giving together. The goal is to change the lives of women and their families by transforming a local nonprofit through a significant, collective financial investment. Our strategy is simple: 100 women give $1,000 each to create a $100,000 grant to benefit a mutually-selected nonprofit. More than 100 women are welcome to join, however, and our impact will be that much greater! Learn more
Richmond Giving Circle
Organized by The Community Foundation in 2007, the Richmond Giving Circle is a dynamic and creative networking group of young professionals under the age of 50 who are interested in learning and giving together. By pooling knowledge and resources, members are able to achieve greater impact than they would individually. Historically, this group has provided support to grassroots organizations whose innovative programs offer much-needed support to children and youth in our region. Learn more
Youth Philanthropy Project
The Youth Philanthropy Project, a small grants initiative of The Community Foundation, is designed to build the leadership skills of young people as they take an active role in addressing the needs of our region. The program is led by a committee of area high school students who are responsible for awarding grants, ranging from $500 to $10,000, to support community service projects that are planned and implemented by their peers.
