    About Synthomer Foundation

    The Synthomer Foundation primarily funds Greater Akron/Cleveland-area nonprofit programs with an emphasis on higher education, community human services, and regional economic/workforce initiatives. Grants are often unrestricted program support to local universities, United Ways, food banks, and workforce development partners, with recurring multi-year or repeat funding to several core institutions. The foundation also shows a distinct interest in chemical engineering and STEM-related professional groups, reflecting ties to the donor’s industry. Overall, giving is locally concentrated and program-focused rather than nationally distributed or capital-heavy.

    Focus Areas

    State and regional public universities and community college program support in Northeast Ohio (e.g., Kent State, Univ. of Akron, Cuyahoga CC)Local United Ways and community foundations funding general human-services programming in Summit and Cuyahoga countiesFood security and hunger-relief organizations in Northeast Ohio (Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Akron Canton Regional Food Bank, Children’s Hunger Alliance)Workforce and economic development / employment readiness in the Akron-Cleveland metro (Akron Urban League, Team NEO)Chemical engineering and STEM professional development and academic partnerships (American Institute of Chemical Engineers, university STEM programs)

    About Synthomer Foundation

    A defining feature of Synthomer Foundation Inc. is its repeated support for Northeast Ohio institutions that anchor education, workforce development, and human services. In the recent grants list, the largest award goes to United Way of Greater Cleveland at $76,000 for project support, while Kent State University received $70,005 for scholarship and matching gift support. That pairing shows two of the foundation’s main modes: backing local service systems and helping students through university-linked giving. The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches community intermediaries such as Cleveland Foundation and United Way of Summit and Medina, along with regional nonprofits serving Akron, Cleveland, and nearby communities. Grants often appear as program or project support, with some general operating support and sponsorships mixed in. The pattern is local and recurring, with several grantees appearing across multiple years and multiple awards. Chemical engineering and STEM also surface in the giving record, reflecting a narrower professional and academic interest alongside broader community priorities.

    What Synthomer Foundation Funds

    Education is a recurring theme in Synthomer Foundation Inc.’s giving. The foundation awarded $30,000 to University of Akron Research Foundation for program/project support and $20,000 to The University of Akron for program/project support, alongside scholarship-linked support to Kent State University. In human services, it gave $50,000 to Cleveland Foundation for general operating support and $25,000 to Greater Cleveland Food Bank for program/project support, showing reliance on intermediaries and direct service providers. Workforce and community development also appear through $35,000 gifts to Akron Urban League for both program/project support and sponsorship. Chemical engineering is a distinct niche: American Institute of Chemical Engineers received multiple $24,000 awards, including program/project support and a scholarship grant.

    How Synthomer Foundation Gives

    Recent grants cluster around modest-to-mid-sized awards, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $3,000, and a p75 of $5,000. The recent list also includes larger project awards, but the typical transaction is relatively small. Giving is recurring rather than one-off: United Way of Greater Cleveland, Akron Urban League, United Way of Summit and Medina, and American Institute of Chemical Engineers all appear in multiple years. The foundation also uses several grant types, including program/project support, general operating support, scholarships, sponsorships, and matching gifts. It runs open programs for U.S. nonprofits and employees, including a general grant program and employee matching gifts.
