featuredIntroducing: The Signal
For hundreds of years, the Signal Tree has been a guidepost: for Native Americans on the Portage Trail and for charitable residents seeking a stronger community. It's the visual representation of your Akron Community Foundation. It's also the inspiration for our new quarterly newsletter.

The Signal is a compilation of news, stories and opportunities for you to take that next step. Read it, share it and - most of all - be inspired by it.
