The DeKalb County Community Foundation aims to enhance the quality of life in DeKalb County by proactively addressing community needs through strategic grantmaking.
The grant program aims to fund specific music education projects led by nonprofit organizations, mainly within Illinois. It is structured to provide one-time awards for projects to be completed within a year, encouraging applications from organizations that do not seek repetitive funding for the same project. The emphasis is on projects that demonstrate collaboration, address unmet music education needs among underserved populations, enhance organizational cooperation, and effectively leverage additional funds or in-kind support. Priority is given to applicants that can significantly impact music education within Illinois, with some consideration for those in the greater Chicagoland area if resources allow. Applicants must be mindful of the grant cycle restrictions, ensuring that requests for funding are well planned and justified within their project budgets.
