Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties has introduced a community chest competition in Didcot, with a prize of £1,000 available for a cause selected by the housebuilder.
Residents are being asked to nominate a community group, organisation or individual that would benefit from the funding.
Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties sales and marketing director Roz Wells said local groups and charities depend on community support and that the campaign was intended to assist worthy causes around Didcot.
The award could pay for new equipment, contribute towards a fundraising challenge or cover other essential expenses.
Each nomination must provide the name of the proposed recipient and a brief explanation of the reason the donation would be beneficial.
Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties will assess the entries before choosing one winner to receive the £1,000 prize.
The company is currently constructing homes at the Valley Park development and has said the competition forms part of its efforts to contribute to the surrounding community.
