If you have not yet exhausted all Corbin support previously awarded, please contact Don Miksch at 330/764-7263 before submitting another proposal.

Unless otherwise advised in an award letter, organizations seeking and receiving support from The Corbin Foundation must submit a Final/Status Report regarding the progress of their project or program, including financial information, comments on factors contributing to or impeding success of the project, future plans or ideas of the organization, and measurable results of the project/program’s objectives.

The Foundation makes only “qualifying distributions” as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code. Organizations eligible for grants are charitable organizations exempt under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and governmental entities for public and charitable purposes. Those organizations exempt under Code Section 501(c)(3) should also be exempt under Code Section 509(a)1, 509(a)2, or 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).

The Foundation gives primary consideration to the City of Akron and Summit County, Ohio charitable organizations and/or local chapters of national charities located in the Akron and Summit County, Ohio areas; however, all requests will be reviewed.

The Foundation works to enrich the lives of the people of Akron and Summit County, Ohio. It supports organizations and programs that benefit Akron and Summit County, Ohio residents.

Although The Foundation has a broad range of funding interests, each application is reviewed on its own merits.

The Foundation does not generally support certain types of requests.

Deadlines are on or before March 1 and on or before September 1.

The Foundation has two application cycles. You may apply beginning either January 1 or July 1.

Once an Application Window closes during any particular cycle, the online submission form is disabled and unavailable to applicants until The Foundation is ready to begin receiving requests for the next cycle.

No, but it would be wise to familiarize yourself with some of Corbin’s recent giving history.

Yes. If it is your first time applying to Corbin through the Huntington online Portal, you must be registered as a Grant Administrator in order to proceed. Unlike Corbin’s original online grantmaking software, the Huntington system does not keep track by Organization, but by Grant Administrator. One signs in as Grant Administrator, not as an Organization. Under this different process you, as Grant Administrator, may find that your Organization qualifies to apply to many different funders.

If you are the Grant Administrator and this is the first time your Organization is applying to Corbin in the Huntington Portal, you will need to add your Organization. After that, if there is a new Grant Administrator submitting an application for an existing Organization, the individual would need to add themselves to the Grant Portal as a new Grant Administrator or user and search for their Organization in order to begin a new application on behalf of that Organization.

When your completed application is received, you will receive a confirmation email.

Both telephone and personal interviews during the grant review process are discouraged unless requested by The Foundation.

You may be contacted by email or telephone to provide additional information as needed.

You will be notified in either May or November as to whether your proposal has been granted, declined, or deferred.

You will receive a confirmation email when your completed application is received. You will be contacted if additional information is needed.

After your application is reviewed by The Foundation’s Trustees, you will be notified of The Foundation’s decision.

No! The Foundation does not accept requests sent by fax, mail or email. Applicants with these types of submissions will be invited to register on Huntington’s online Portal.
