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. To obtain
