Akron’s new Trailhead Foundation to begin awarding health nonprofit grants by early 2027

Staff at the Trailhead Community Health Foundation of Greater Akron have been hard at work growing their team and setting up the organization since its creation in October. The health grantmaking and fundraising organization launched with proceeds from Summa Health’s purchase by global venture capital firm General Catalyst’s Health Assurance Transformation Company. Since then, a small, women-led team, alongside a board of directors, has been working to build the multi-million dollar foundation from the ground up.
