Over the years, the 423 Fund has had the privilege of supporting and partnering with some amazing organizations including:
Playing comes natural to kids! The Sports Backers created Kids Run RVA to make running and active living just as fun and easy. Kids Run RVA promotes physical activity to youth across the Richmond region and encourages more kids to get moving more often. Between all of our programs and events, Kids Run RVA instills healthy habits that continue to flourish into adolescence and adulthood.
Founded in 1975 in Washington DC as a grassroots effort to create learning opportunities for children in low-income neighborhoods, Higher Achievement was invited in 2009 by the Richmond Public School Superintendent and School Board to become part of the solution to improving local middle school outcomes by helping Richmond's motivated, yet at-risk, middle school students in great economic need and navigate them to a path of academic success.
Richmond Cycling Corps is an opportunity-rich outreach program which uses the sport of cycling as a lever for deep and impactful change. We empower youth in public housing to break free from the cycle of systemic poverty. For this momentous undertaking, we employ a hands-on system of case-management attached to a spectrum of mentors, resources, counseling, high standards, and tough love.

The Alpha Pioneers Academy (APA), founded by the Rho Iota Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (RIL), provides young male scholars with interactive, motivational, and reflective experiences. The APA experience focuses on engaging the “whole child,” with core focuses on leadership, community engagement and personal growth through the mind, body, and spirit.
