The Big Picture: "What if 5% stayed local?"
Hear from SDCF President & CEO Stephanie Judson on the Transfer of Wealth opportunity in your community — and exactly what's at stake for your council.
Meet the Councils Doing the Work
A round-robin session where you'll hear what's working (and what isn't) straight from fellow councils across the region. Steal ideas. Make connections.
Stewardship That Sticks
Greater Lyman Foundation shares how they keep donors engaged year after year — without a big budget. The moment a one-time donor becomes a legacy donor, and how to spot it.
Inside the Donor Conversation
Matt Brakke, Pierre-native financial advisor pulls back the curtain on how legacy giving decisions really get made — and how your council can be part of that conversation before it's too late.
A Challenge Match Story Worth Hearing
Kadoka Area Foundation went from brand new to fully funded in five months. Rusty Olney tells the story straight: who they called, their strategy and how they met the challenge!
Leave with a 90-Day Plan
You won't just take notes — you'll leave with a concrete commitment and a community of councils who know exactly how hard this work is.
