The COVID-19 Response Grant program was designed to support the rising needs in DeKalb County during the COVID-19 pandemic. Funding for this grant program is made possible by ongoing donations to the DeKalb County COVID-19 Response Fund. Since June 2020, the Fund has distributed over $300,00 in assistance to organizations serving DeKalb County. Thank you to the many generous donors who have contributed.
