Our Story
For Richmond, originally known as BlessRVA, was founded in 2009 to foster relationships among pastors across racial and denominational lines. In 2017, the organization recognized the need for collaboration among churches and nonprofits after engaging with community leaders. The tragic events of the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville galvanized 900 Richmond pastors to unite against racism, inspiring For Richmond to focus on collective efforts for impactful change.
