What we do
Together we can achieve more
OneRichmond is a place-based funder which means all the money we raise in the area, stays in the area.
Through our grants programme, we support local charities and organisations across the Richmond borough who are delivering services and support for our local community.
Entrusting us with your donation helps to build this chain of support. We can direct funds where they will have the most impact in our local community, and you can be confident you’re supporting change right here on your doorstep.
Why OneRichmond?
Local Expertise & Trusted Connections
We know Richmond and its needs, and we have trusted relationships with high-impact grassroots organisations. Many of these groups are invisible to mainstream funders, but we ensure your giving supports work that is proven, sustainable, and aligned with your values.
Amplified Impact
Your contribution goes beyond short-term fixes. We target giving to areas of long-term systemic need and help coordinate collaborative giving efforts - amplifying both reach and effectiveness, while aligning with CSR and ESG priorities.
Efficiency
We manage fund disbursement, reporting, community feedback, and coordination with partner charities - making your giving seamless and impactful.
Due Diligence & Good Governance
We rigorously vet all recipient charities for financial health, legal compliance, safeguarding, and impact effectiveness - reducing risk and admin burden for corporate and individual donors. We also support third-party checks and CSR requirements.
Our impact
Thanks to support from our local community, we are already making a difference to lives across Richmond.
To date, we have given out more than £220,000 in grants, including £100,000 to support vulnerable young people most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Local organisations we have funded include:
- Richmond AID, to employ a part-time trainee adviser to help provide budgeting, benefits and money advice.
- Art & Soul, to run a series of creative workshops supporting young people’s mental health.
- TAG Youth Club, to provide short-breaks, day trips and activities for young people with additional needs.
