Akran Foundation

The Akran Foundation is a Canadian-based registered charity under the Community Foundation of Ottawa. We were established as a community-based, non-profit organization in 2010 to pool the charitable efforts and resources of Akran Marketing, Akran employees, customers, the Akran supply chain and of other donors to benefit local and international communities and meet the foundation's objectives. Akran provides grants, technical expertise, products and services through the Foundation to support a wide range of charitable initiatives in various sectors - from health, education and social services to arts and culture and the environment. Our role is to provide leadership in bringing people together from all sectors to identify and address issues and opportunities. The Akran Foundation is known and respected as an independent resource for addressing social issues, and for the nature and scope of its philanthropy. We have earned the respect and support of communities by being innovative and flexible, and by maintaining the highest standards of ethics, excellence, efficiency and accountability in all our endeavours to make a difference.
