Community Foundation for a greater Richmond



The Community Foundation has grown substantially since its inception, reflecting both the vision and integrity of its leaders and the extraordinary philanthropic spirit of the people of Richmond and Central Virginia.

The Foundation measures its success in terms of the many individuals, families and corporations who have entrusted us to be stewards of their charitable interests, the many grantees we support and the many referrals we routinely receive from the area's most knowledgeable financial advisors.

With combined assets of $667 million, The Community Foundation is one of the largest grantmakers in Virginia.
