A community foundation is a nonprofit organization supported by donors with a common interest in charity and creating good in a defined geographic area. There are fewer than 800 community foundations in the U.S., and Barberton is fortunate to have its own!
From the Barberton High School to the Towpath Connector Bridge to the many students who receive college scholarships each year, Barberton Community Foundation is a proud sponsor of progress.

Endowment funds allow donors to support particular interest areas, specific program initiatives, or causes. Many nonprofits establish an endowment fund to grow their assets and enhance their ability to accept large and complex gifts.
Donors can establish a named permanent fund for a minimum contribution of $5,000.
This fund allows you to direct your giving toward a broad cause or issue area you care about deeply, such as education, the arts, healthcare, or youth development. Rather than designating a specific organization as the recipient, you entrust the Foundation to identify and support the most effective programs and organizations working within that area over time. This approach ensures your gift remains responsive to the community's evolving needs for years to come.
Donors can establish a named Field of Interest Fund for a minimum contribution of $5,000.
The creation of a Scholarship Fund is attractive to many donors and can be structured to benefit students at any education level, or for a specific institution. A scholarship fund can also be established to honor a loved one. Some donors choose to stay involved through advisory relationships, while others name advisory committees to assist in the selection of recipients. Either way, our staff will handle the necessary paperwork and will ensure that scholarships are distributed in an equitable manner. Donors can establish a named scholarship fund for a minimum contribution of $5,000 but a minimum of $31,000 is recommended to start a fund so a gift of at least $1,000 can be given annually from the start.
