Give Local DeKalb County was a huge success as together we gathered over 850 gifts and raised over $119,443* for 38 nonprofit organizations across DeKalb County!
Thank you, DeKalb County! The spirit of philanthropy is obviously stronger than ever in our communities. Together we have increased awareness of the critical role our nonprofit organizations play in helping with those causes we care about.
Across the country, as part of Give Local America, we’ve helped to raise a historical record $45 million* (including local matches) in one day for nonprofit organizations who are key to making our communities strong.
As the website indicates, we are in the process of verifying all gifts for all organizations (dollars, transactions, etc.). We anticipate this to be completed by Friday, May 9. At that time, we will announce the final numbers (please remember that the current results on the website are still subject to final review and verification). Participating Nonprofit organizations should be receiving their donation checks the week of May 12.
Thank you again for joining the DeKalb County Community Foundation and the DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership in making DeKalb County’s first Giving Day a grand success! Together we make a difference!
* Includes DeKalb County Community Foundation $20,000 match. Totals will be finalized within the next few days
