Welcome Donors

Make a Difference in Your Community

On September 15, 2001, more than 500 area residents came together in downtown Akron to take part in the Coming Together Project's annual Unity Walk. It was, to date, the walk's largest group of participants.

Akron Community Foundation welcomes donors from all walks of life, and gifts of any amount always make a difference.

The Foundation offers donors a number of ways to maximize tax benefits and ensure charitable goals are met. Browse this area to find out how easy it is to become a donor and make a difference in your community.
