Welcome to The Room
Oxford's philanthropic collective supporting women and children across Oxfordshire.
The Room is a collective giving community that finds, funds and supports small local charities that have impactful solutions to pressing challenges facing women, children, and young people across Oxfordshire.
Meet our 2025 Charity Partners:
Collaborative and strategic giving
Pool resources, give collectively and maximise your impact. The Room is an entirely voluntary organisation allowing 100% of your upfront membership donation to go directly to funding grant awards.
Community
The Room bridges the gap that separates people experiencing challenges from those who are in a position to help. Join The Room and you'll join a community committed to making a significant difference to the lives of women and children across Oxfordshire.
Support beyond the funding
We support charities addressing some of Oxfordshire’s most pressing social challenges. Our partnerships go beyond funding — we connect grassroots organisations with an engaged and skilled community, and we provide a platform to help share their stories more widely.
