The South Dakota Community Foundation accepts, manages and administers five kinds of funds, all of which are held in permanent endowment and are designed to allow the donor to meet their charitable goals.

Community Savings Accounts benefit a specific community or region of South Dakota. The earnings are awarded at the recommendation of a local board of directors.

Scholarship Funds benefit South Dakota high school graduates pursuing high education opportunities.

Donor Advised Funds are funds whose donors reserve the privilege to recommend agencies to be considered for grants.

Designated Funds benefit specific charitable institutions named by donors in establishing their funds.

Unrestricted Funds are used at the discretion of the Foundation Board of Directors to meet deserving charitable needs and opportunities throughout South Dakota.

Our Programs


The South Dakota Community Foundation makes grants to non profit and charitable organizations across the state in support of Economic Development, Human Services, Health, Education, and Cultural programs. The SDCF Board of Directors awards approximately $500,000 each year from the unrestricted permanent endowment.

Grant proposals can be submitted for consideration at any time. They will be reviewed by the Foundation staff and Board of Directors, and you will be notified of their decision within 30-45 days.
