Community

Respecting, Serving, & Supporting Our Community

At RiverFront, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the communities where we live and work. Our three pillars of investing in our community are:

  • Charitable Giving of Time and Talent
  • Supporting Local Organizations and the Arts
  • Supporting the Interests of our Associates.

RiverFront offers to provide Matching Gifts when our associates make personal contributions, up to $500 annually. We also encourage our associates to volunteer at the organizations of their choice, allotting four hours per month of Paid Volunteer Time (in addition to firm sponsored volunteer opportunities.)

Our REACH (RiverFront's Engagement with And Commitment to our Hometowns) Committee serves as liaison with our communities partners, organizes volunteer opportunities and fundraisers, and manages our Annual Charitable Giving Partner relationship.

Each year our firm selects an Annual Charitable Giving Partner, a non-profit

RiverFront Investment Group is pleased to announce Metro Richmond Flying Squad as their 2025 Charitable Giving Partner. The partnership includes a $25,000 donation and a commitment to volunteerism throughout 2025.

“The grant from RiverFront Investment Group will assure that the Firefighters of the eight Metro Richmond Fire Departments that we serve will receive the help they need,” said Vernon Frayser, Captain-Operations at Metro Richmond Flying Squad. “At 2AM, when it is 21 degrees outside and the firefighters have faced the ravages of fire and are sore, exhausted, cold, and thirsty, the Metro Richmond Flying Squad will be there with assets that RiverFront provided us for that very purpose. The warmth they will feel, the hydration and nutrition they receive, and the rest and care they will get will be because of your team.”

A Message from our President & CEO

“RiverFront has a long history of supporting worthy non-profit organizations across the Richmond Community”, said Pete Quinn, RiverFront’s President and CEO. “This year, we are excited to be partnering with Metro Richmond Flying Squad. The work they do supporting our first responders is something that resonated with all of RiverFront’s Associates as we hope it does with others all over Richmond. In addition to this monetary contribution, we look forward to lending our volunteer time to advance their mission.”
