The DeKalb County Community Foundation is currently accepting applications for the Promise Grant – Subvención de Promesa program. Eligible organizations can apply before the October 1, 2022 deadline.

Promise Grants support the needs of underserved and often dismissed populations in DeKalb County. The purpose of the Promise Grant program is to inspire, educate, and empower individuals who may experience extraordinary challenges due to their ethnicity, immigration status, and abilities.

Available dollars for this grant program come from two Funds at the Community Foundation, the Promise Fund-El Fondo de la Promesa and the Howard and Mildred Eychaner Fund.

For questions or additional information on Promise Grants, please contact the Community Foundation at 815-748-5383 or grants@dekalbccf.org.

A 2020 Promise Grant to the DeKalb County Community Gardens was used to educate local youth about gardens using their senses.
