“Thank you for calling the Dekko Foundation. How can I help you?”
For any potential grant seeker desiring more information about our mission, for any grantee wanting to touch base and share their progress, for anyone reaching out to be connected with our proactive initiatives, that s the greeting they hear over the phone.
Wanting to help – to support the great things adults and youth-serving organizations are doing so children are taking steps forward to their eventual economic freedom – has been at the heart of what we do since Chester E. Dekko started the Dekko Foundation nearly 40 years ago in 1981.

Itâs the Waddlesâ first time decorating for Christmas in their new home.
Their labor of love was blessed Monday with two really big presents: $500 on their behalf to Noble Transit Service and $500 for themselves.
Noble Transit, affiliated with the Noble County Council on Aging, is a public transportation agency serving Noble County. Most of its vehicles are wheelchair accessible.
âWe chose Noble Transit because they played a big part in my familyâs life when my grandpa was going through dialysis and stroke recovery,â said David Waddles. âThey always went above and beyond and we want them to know they are appreciated for all the hard work they do.â
