Kimball Area Foundation
A way to give back...
Founded in 2016 Giving Back to Kimball
The Kimball Area Foundation accepts charitable gifts and funds local nonprofits and community projects. Our volunteer board ensures every dollar goes where it's needed most right here!
Money Raised Here, Stays Here
The Kimball Area Foundation operates as a Community Savings Account (CSA) — a perpetual gift to this community. Funds are invested through the South Dakota Community Foundation, and 4.5% of the average value is granted back to local nonprofits each year. As the fund grows, so does our ability to make a lasting impact right here in the Kimball Area.
Imagine the Possibilities
A $1 million endowment would generate $45,000 annually for charitable projects in and around Kimball. Other communities have reached that milestone — Kimball can too.
Every gift, large or small, builds this fund for generations to come. You don't need to be a millionaire to make a difference locally.
Applications are accepted from local nonprofits and eligible projects in the Kimball area.
