DeKalb County Nursing Home Foundation Awarded $10,000 in Professional Website Services

The DeKalb County Nursing Home Foundation has been selected as the recipient of the 2024 Websites for Good by Green Closet Creative grant, an in-kind donation valued at up to $10,000 in professional website services. This initiative, a collaboration between Green Closet Creative and the DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership (DCNP), provides a local nonprofit with a modern, user-friendly website to better connect with the community, donors, and stakeholders.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with the DeKalb County Nursing Home Foundation to create a digital platform that showcases the critical services they provide,” said Darby Ward Dwyer, Green Closet Creative co-founder. “Quality nursing care is essential to the well-being of our community, and we’re honored to help highlight the impactful work they do every day to support residents, families, and the broader community.”

This annual grant opportunity is made possible by Green Closet Creative, an award-winning marketing agency based in Sycamore, IL, dedicated to supporting nonprofit organizations. The DCNP, a program of the DeKalb County Community Foundation, plays a vital role in strengthening local nonprofits through capacity-building initiatives like this.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with DCNP on this meaningful project,” said Ellie Peterson, Green Closet Creative co-founder. “Their dedication to supporting nonprofits in our community is inspiring, and we are thrilled to contribute to that mission by helping the DeKalb County Nursing Home Foundation improve its digital presence.”

As a result of this project, the DeKalb County Nursing Home Foundation will soon have a modern, functional website that allows residents, families, and the community to easily access important information about its services, updates, and ways to support its mission.

“This initiative represents a unique extension of our traditional grant programs, and we are incredibly excited to see local businesses like Green Closet Creative step up to support the nonprofit community in such a meaningful way,” said Ben Bingle, DCNP Director. “By contributing their expertise, they are strengthening an organization that provides essential care to our community, reinforcing the power of collaboration in driving positive impact.”
