As the GCEF philanthropic fund continues to grow, the income earned and granted to area non-profit organizations will grow along with it!
Thank you for your support. |

Since awarding its first grants in 2005, the fund has reinvested a total of $71,974 in local nonprofit initiatives promoting tolerance and well-being in the greater Akron area. The following grants were awarded this year:
