About

Building a Stronger, More Vibrant Richfield—Together.

Since 1988, the Richfield Foundation has been a grassroots engine behind the community projects that make our city thrive. We are an all-volunteer organization dedicated to fostering connection, opportunity, and support for every resident of Richfield.

Who We Are

The Richfield Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built by neighbors, for neighbors. We believe that local transformation starts at the community level. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, we operate with low overhead, ensuring that the generosity of our donors goes right to where it’s needed most: into the hands of local groups doing great work.

To date, we have awarded nearly half a million dollars to non-profits and neighborhood groups that serve the unique needs of Richfield.

Our Impact in Action

In 2025 alone, we awarded over $36,000 in grants to local organizations. From providing winter gear for public school students and dental care for low-income families, to funding cultural performers at PennFest and Nordic ski boots for kids at Wood Lake Nature Center, our impact touches every corner of the community.

Our Signature Event

Our work is made possible by our signature annual fundraiser, A Toast to Richfield. This event brings together hundreds of guests, local restaurants, and beverage vendors for an evening of community and giving. It is the heartbeat of our fundraising efforts, allowing us to turn local sponsorships into life-changing grants.

Join Us

Whether you are an organization looking for funding, a business looking to sponsor our next event, or a resident looking to give back to the city you love, there is a place for you here.

Together, we are making Richfield a better place to live, work, and grow.
