On May 5, 2015, DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership (DCNP), an initiative of DeKalb County Community Foundation (DCCF), is facilitating Give Local DeKalb County as part of Give Local America, a national day of local giving. This 24-hour crowdfunding event provides critical funding for our community partners across the country. In 2014, Give Local DeKalb County raised nearly $120,000 for 38 local organizations.
DeKalb County Community Foundation has donated $20,000 in proportional matching funds for a second year in a row. These dollars will be used to amplify every donation that comes in on May 5th.
DCNP is encouraging everyone in the community to be a philanthropist. The minimum donation amount for this giving day is only $25, but there is no limit on how much an individual can give. “Whether a gift is $25 or $250, every donation makes a big difference,” said Lynette Spencer, Executive Director of Adventure Works. “Last year we were able to raise $1,889 in one day through Give Local DeKalb County.”
