Richmond Community Foundation strives for healthy, thriving communities that are safe and diverse, and where families flourish and children are given new hope for a bright and abundant future. RCF partners with the community to inspire leadership and share the vision for work in five areas: Community Growth, Health, Restoring Neighborhoods, Education, Public Safety.
Richmond Community Foundation impacts these five areas through the three C’s of Community Building: Coach, Connect, Contribute.
OUR FIVE PILLARS
Restoring Neighborhoods
Creating capital investments in a neighborhood changes the physical environment from one of neglect to one of strength.
Health
Access to health care, nutritious foods and healthy environments improves the lives of individuals and communities.
Community Growth
Increasing wealth and stimulating the local economy improves the livelihood of individuals, families and entire communities.
Quality Education
Access to quality education (instruction and facilities) is a defining characteristic of a sustainable community.
Public Safety
Sound design, safe walkways and supervised playing fields are just some elements that help increase public safety and wellbeing.
