About this grant
The Thriving in Nature Fund is a collective giving initiative managed by Oxfordshire Community Foundation that supports people in engaging with green spaces and the rural environment. The fund aims to help people prosper through nature engagement, nurturing a love of the natural world, and developing practical skills needed to steward the environment into the future. A third round of grant funding is planned for 2026, with a stronger emphasis on food and farming, capitalising on Oxfordshire's rural and agricultural heritage and encouraging engagement and skills development within the farming community. The fund pools resources from multiple donors to reach small and local charities and community groups across Oxfordshire that individual donors might not otherwise find.
