            Nonprofit registration is now open for Give DeKalb County 2021. This annual fundraising event features multiple ways to support nonprofit organizations. Donors can give online from midnight to midnight on May 6, 2021 by visiting GiveDeKalbCounty.org. Between April 22 and May 6, those who prefer to donate by check can print a donation form from the website and give by mail.

            Give DeKalb County is coordinated by the DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership (DCNP), a program of the DeKalb County Community Foundation. The previous seven giving days combined have raised over $3.7 million for participating nonprofit organizations.

            “COVID-19 disrupted nearly everything in 2020 and Give DeKalb County was no exception,” said Ben Bingle, Director of DCNP. “However, the event carried on, nonprofits showed incredible resilience and donors demonstrated overwhelming generosity. As we look ahead, Give DeKalb County continues to be an exciting opportunity to shine a light on our nonprofit community and to support their work.”
