Greenleaf Family Center's Annual Campaign 2026
This year, consider a gift to Greenleaf Family Center as we provide Family Support and Education, Behavioral Health and Suicide Prevention, as well as Services for the Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard-of-Hearing Community.
Below you can read about our history and the impact we've had on the community through our programs and services. The Annual Campaign is year-long and the funds are used for general operating support so we can continue to do the things we do best - serving the individuals, families, and children in greater Akron and Summit County!
Please contact Jeanine Black, bjeanine@greenleafctr.org with any questions. And please email marketing@greenleafctr.org to sign up for our newsletter. Thank you!
As of February, Greenleaf will have been serving the greater Akron community for 114 years! Founded in 1912, it was first established to help Akron residents with basic needs such as coal, groceries, clothing and transportation.
Proud of this history, Greenleaf has always adapted to meet the needs of the community and sustained services throughout the decades.

Become a Monthly Donor. There are many benefits:
-
Budget-friendly and manageable: Breaking down a larger annual contribution into smaller, affordable monthly gifts makes giving more feasible and less of a strain on your finances. And once the amount is set, you don't have to think about it again for the rest of the year! All the work is done.
-
Deeper connection and engagement: You'll get closer to our work through exclusive updates and opportunities to see the direct impact of your ongoing support.
-
Simplified taxes: You'll still receive a single, consolidated receipt for your donations at the end of the year, making tax preparation easier.
-
Increased impact: Over time, your cumulative monthly donations can add up to a significant, lasting impact on the cause you care about.
-
Control and flexibility: You can change your contribution amount, update payment information, and pause or change your gift at any time, putting you in control.
