The mission of the Akron Community Fund is to identify and fulfill community needs, impact future growth and development of Akron, promote volunteerism, attract and distribute funds, and enhance the quality of life in Akron by providing leadership, creating opportunities, and challenging the community to share time, talent, and resources through personal involvement and commitment.
The Akron Community Foundation was formed in 2001 as an affiliate of the Siouxland Community Foundation. Florence Peterson had a vision to ensure that charitable programs in the community were supported now and in the future. She planted the first seeds of giving through a gift from her estate to establish an endowment within the Siouxland Community Foundation for the exclusive benefit of the Akron, Iowa community. The Akron Community Foundation now serves as a vehicle to receive gifts from individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to establish endowment funds that will provide grant awards for years to come.
The Akron Community Foundation is governed by a local advisory board who are active in our community.

Bank President – Mike Hohenstein, Chair
Bank President – Kevin Eekhoff, Vice-Chair
Mayor – Harold Higman
