The vision and dedication of greater Akron community leaders have helped Akron Community Foundation plan for tomorrow by building a permanent, growing charitable endowment that will provide income in perpetuity.

To oversee this endowment, a 24-member volunteer board governs the foundation. Board members are elected for three-year terms and can serve a maximum of nine years. Led by a board chair, the members establish policy and approve the distribution of grants to nonprofit organizations. The board also oversees the investment of the foundation's endowment.

A dedicated, professional staff oversees the day-to-day activities of the foundation. Our president and CEO, John T. Petures Jr., is at the forefront of the foundation's efforts, continually working to educate the community about the many ways the foundation benefits greater Akron and its surrounding region.

The foundation's staff members handle financial administration, process all grant requests and awards, and ensure the foundation's news and events are communicated to the public in a timely manner.
