For over 27 years, The Enrichmond Foundation has supported
the City of Richmond Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities
through citizen involvement, education, and fundraising.
Enrichmond acts as an umbrella non-profit organization for over one hundred volunteer groups, special initiatives, and "Friends of" groups we call Partners. We help provide an increased level of accountability and transparency when and where private donations are made.
Enrichmond is responsible for managing and activating Richmond public spaces: 17th Street Market and its farmers market, a variety of festivals in Shockoe Bottom, Historic Evergreen Cemetery in the East End, and Kanawha Plaza in Downtown. Our TreeLab program is growing trees and beautification plants for use throughout the city.
