Beginning in April, donors who prefer to give by check can print a mail-in donation form at GiveDeKalbCounty.org, list their chosen organization(s) and donation amount(s), then write one check for the total amount payable to “DCCF.” Mail it with the completed donation form to the DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Avenue, Sycamore, IL 60178 (postmarked April 23 - May 7). Donations from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) follow the mail-in guidelines.

Hosted by the DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership, a program of the DeKalb County Community Foundation, Give DeKalb County has raised more than $12.8 million to date. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and make a difference on May 7!
