The Gay Community Endowment Fund is a permanent philanthropic endowment of Akron Community Foundation. To date, it has granted nearly $360,000 to nonprofits in the Greater Akron area that support or positively impact the LGBT community. The fund serves as a catalyst for the full participation of LGBT people in our society and promotes philanthropy within the LGBT and allied communities.
