There are 110 local non-profit groups registered to be part of this 24-hour day of giving that is coordinated by the DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership, a program of the DeKalb County Community Foundation. Donors may give through a secure website:
In previous years contributions could also be made in person at the Community Foundation Office in Sycamore; however, due to the Covid-19 restrictions, mail-in donations postmarked by May 7 will be accepted. Donors giving by mail can print a donation form from the website, complete the form indicating the organization(s) and donation amount(s) they wish to make, and then write a single check for the total amount payable to “DCCF.” The form and check should be mailed to: DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Avenue, Sycamore, IL 60178.
“Give DeKalb County” includes a bonus pool made possible by donors who wish to give added support to all participating non-profits. This pool will boost every donation given, whether by mail or online, in the form of proportional matching dollars to what is raised by each organization.
