Give DeKalb County

Give DeKalb County is a fundraising day supporting nonprofit organizations in DeKalb County. Every donation is BOOSTED through the Bonus Pool, so your donation goes even further towards helping homeless pets at Tails Humane society!
 
On Thursday May 1st, donations can be made online from midnight to midnight at GiveDeKalbCounty.org. Every dollar you donate to Tails earns us more dollars from the Bonus Pool! Mail-in donations are accepted April 17th-May 1st.
