Mission

DeKalb County Community Foundation promotes community philanthropy by offering local citizens the opportunity to leave a charitable legacy that will sustain and improve life in our county.

The DeKalb County Community Foundation was established in 1996 as a vehicle for donors who wish to better the community now and in the future. It provides flexible, efficient and tax-effective ways to ensure charitable gifts achieve the greatest possible impact.

The community foundation holds a collection of permanent endowment funds that offer a continuous source of income for a wide variety of charitable purposes. The foundation makes it possible for people of all means to act philanthropically, regardless of the size of their donation.
