Rooted in Community
Investing in DeKalb’s Future Starts Right Here
Growing for All
Equity, Wellness, and Connection Through Philanthropy
The DeKalb Parks Foundation was created to strengthen our community through parks, programs, and people. With a focus on equity, access, and sustainability, we’re committed to ensuring every resident—regardless of age, ability, or income—can experience the joy of recreation and the healing power of nature.
From days-off-school programs and summer camps to accessible trails and green spaces, your support helps grow opportunities for everyone in DeKalb. Together, we’re creating a stronger, healthier, and more inclusive future—one gift, one park, and one family at a time.
Our Organization
The DeKalb Parks Foundation is dedicated to enriching lives and building community through the support of inclusive, accessible, and innovative parks and recreation initiatives. By providing financial assistance, enhancing green spaces, and empowering programs that promote wellness, connection, and lifelong learning, we help ensure that every DeKalb resident can thrive—now and for generations to come.
Take Action
The DeKalb Parks Foundation is excited to participate in its first Give DeKalb County on May 1, to sustain a vibrant legacy of parks and recreation in DeKalb and beyond, by providing financial support, stewarding signature events, and expanding access for all. Through our Scholarship Assistance Program and the management of community favorites like the annual Golf Fore the Kids Scholarship Golf Outing, we empower every resident to play, connect, and thrive—today and for generations to come.
