Established at the end of 1999, the Millennium Fund for Children is a permanent endowment created through a partnership between Akron Community Foundation and the Akron Beacon Journal with the goal of using small grants to make a big difference. Each year, a selection committee composed of fund donors recommends grants for children’s programs throughout the Akron Beacon Journal/Beaconjournal.com’s audience coverage area, which includes Summit, Portage, Medina, Stark, Wayne and Cuyahoga counties.
Last year, the Millennium Fund awarded 24 grants totaling $40,300 to support arts, education and health programs for local youth. Recent grants have provided school supplies and nutritious meals for Akron Public Schools students, supported crisis intervention programs for children living in shelters, purchased winter coats for children who have been abused or neglected, and more.
Businesses can commit to supporting local children by becoming a corporate sponsor of the Millennium Fund. Sponsorships are fully tax deductible and include special recognition on the fund’s donation coupon and other materials circulated throughout the Akron Beacon Journal’s six-county distribution area.
