Helping, healing and making a difference in the lives of others are at the heart of health care and the work of the Akron General Foundation. We are a 501-C3 tax-exempt organization, which encourages and accepts gifts made to Akron General Medical Center, in Akron, Ohio.

We can help you donate to Akron General hospitals - Akron General Medical Center and Lodi Community Hospital -  Hospice of VNS and other worthy needs in ways that are most meaningful to you. These charitable hospital donations can express gratitude for excellent care received; gifts that honor a friend, relative or caregiver, go toward research for diseases such as cancer and heart disease; or gifts that in other ways invite you to play a part in improving the health of our community.

When you donate to Akron General, whether to our hospitals or other health system members, one hundred percent of your designated contribution goes directly to the programs and services that serve our patients and their families. Charitable hospital donations go toward research and education along with helping people with illnesses such as cancer and heart disease.
