Our mission is to impact RVA by enhancing educational opportunities, providing athletic programming, and bringing the FUNN into all we do! FS Charities will strive to strike out the social determinants that negatively influence our community while also fostering a place for inclusion.
Our four pillars of focus are:
Education
Athletics
Social Determinants
Inclusion
Ways we've helped the community in the past:
- All-Star Legacy Fund | Every year since 2019, FS Charities has partnered with Genworth to give away a 1 - 3 scholarships a year to students in the Richmond Public Schools system to help continue their education through a 4-year college of their choice.
- Richmond Renovating Recreation | FS Charities was created in 2014 to improve 16 youth baseball fields in the surrounding areas with the help of the Richmond City Parks and Recreation Department. Some of those field projects include Bellemeade Field, Blackwell Field, Fairfield Field, Henderson Complex, Hotchkiss Field, Martin Luther King Jr. Fields, Powhatan Community Center, Summer Hill Playground, and Westover Community Center.
- Donations | FS Charities has raised money for other non-profit partners, including The Holli Fund, Community Foundation, The Robins Foundation in collaboration with RVA Strong, Richmond Education Foundation, Nourish Henrico, Chesterfield Food Bank, VCU Health Rainbow Fund, and various Little League Associations around the metro Richmond area.
