DeKalb County Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization in the philanthropic fundraising sector, based in Sycamore, Illinois, serving DeKalb County. Its mission is to enhance the quality of life in the county by addressing community needs and by expanding, managing, and distributing philanthropic resources. The foundation supports endowments and donor services, oversees the stewardship of charitable funds for individuals, families, nonprofit organizations, and corporate donors, and administers seven grantmaking programs across arts and culture, community development, education, environment and animal welfare, health and human services, and nonprofit capacity building.

Funds are pooled for investment, yet each fund retains its own identity and the donor-defined charitable intent. It works with individual donors, families, nonprofit organizations, and corporate donors to connect resources with causes and offer flexible, cost-effective vehicles for carrying out charitable objectives, regardless of the size of the donation. It identifies community needs and partners with others through grantmaking and community leadership resources to bring about positive change, and in 2025 launched an Impact Investing program to offer opportunities for local nonprofits, businesses, and donors to create lasting impact in DeKalb County.
