The mission of Barberton Community Foundation is to strengthen the Barberton community for current and future generations by providing leadership, fostering collaboration, and creating a legacy of giving to do good.
The Foundation supports Barberton City Schools, the City of Barberton, and is open to funding nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations through a grant process that is reviewed three times a year. Their grant focuses are education, workforce and economic development; arts and community; and health and wellness. For consideration, nonprofits must submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) as a preliminary step before being potentially invited to apply for a grant.
