Heart of Gold
We have a list of the most giving people in DeKalb County.
Do you know someone else who belongs on the list?
Every year, DeKalb County Community Foundation honors a few local people who have made our community a better place – people whose recent contributions of time and talent deserve special recognition. The Community Foundation celebrates the contributions made by Heart of Gold Award nominees and we love to hear their stories.
Heart of Gold Award recipients have the opportunity to direct a $500 gift to a charity of their choice. If you know a candidate for the award, please complete a Nomination Form and submit it by Monday, April 13, 2009. Award recipients are announced at the DeKalb County Community Foundation’s annual meeting held in May each year.
The Community Foundation would like your suggestions for Heart of Gold Award nominees. Consider nominating someone who volunteers to:
- Expand cultural opportunities
- Encourage lifelong learning
- Protect the environment
- Help senior citizens or people with disadvantages or disabilities
- Work with children
- Make the community a good place to live
Any community member qualifies for the award, regardless of age. Nominees are less likely to be chosen as recipients of the award if the contributions for which you want to honor them are related to their paid employment. DeKalb County Community Foundation Board and staff members are not eligible for the award.
