What Gives!
Greetings!
We care deeply about this community and will do all we can to take precautions, contribute to preparedness, and respond to rising needs.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time of national concern and encourage you to take all appropriate precautions to protect your health and well-being and that of our community.
In observance of the recent COVID-19 Tier 3 resurgence mitigations for Illinois, we are taking the following precautions to ensure the health and safety of our employees and constituents: 

  • The Foundation office will be closed to the public Friday, Nov. 20 - Friday, Dec. 25, 2020.
  • Staff are working remotely during our regular office hours of Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
  • Staff are available by phone and email. Please note that our phone system is tied to our email. Feel free to leave a voicemail for any staff person by calling 815-748-5383. They will receive notification of your message and will respond in a timely manner.
  • Staff are available to meet by appointment.
  • The Foundation office will temporarily re-open to the public Monday, Dec. 28 - Thursday, Dec. 31.
  • We have postponed taking Freight Room event reservations indefinitely.
  • Meeting schedules and the re-opening of our office after December 31, 2020 will be assessed on a rolling basis. 
  • Updates will be provided on our website, dekalbccf.org.

Lastly, the short and long term effects of COVID-19 are significant on our community—particularly for our most vulnerable residents and area nonprofit organizations. Therefore, please continue to give generously to our local nonprofits so that they have the resources necessary to respond OR consider making a donation to the DeKalb County COVID-19 Response Fund.
