Groups receiving OCF grants 1997–2016 What follows is a full list of charitable organisations that have received grants from Oxfordshire Community Foundation (OCF) throughout our history.

We are proud to have supported a wide variety of deserving local community initiatives, benefiting Oxfordshire residents of all ages, ethnicities and abilities. The following list is organised by District Council.
